Yes, in once sense, I’m alone! I spent this afternoon with daughter and her husband family (and 4 of our grandchildren).
Then I went to the life Care Center where my wife of 52+ years has been for the past 18+ months (She has altimers).
But I give thanks for all the blessings of this Christmas, and all the past Christmas’.
But in the other sense, I’m not ever alone. I’m aware of the presence of the One that said: “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” (Hebrews 13:5b)
Oh, what assurances floods my soul, when I know the promises of God, and His faithfulness to me a sinner He came to save: who did not deserve the gift of eternal life.
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)
We are all here with you!
About your wife being in the troubling condition that my mom had too. I often think I am going to get it also. Sometimes life just isn’t wonderful but you have taken steps to make her live comfortably. That is all you can do. God loves you for still visiting.
Merry Christmas dear one. May God Bless you.
God Bless you, your Wife and your family.
Your wife knows you are there and your touch is all she needs to be assured of your love.
My mother has Alzheimer's too. She is temporarily going to an assisted living place on Monday so my Dad can have a week off. It's just about gotten the best of him. I do the best I can to help, but I work. My mother now thinks I'm her sister, but she still knows my Dad. We opened presents tonight and she seemed to be more "with us" than recently, it was nice.
My prayers go with you, I can imagine how hard it's been. Merry Christmas and GOD bless you!
