A little Consideration, a little Thought for Others, makes all the difference. Winnie the Pooh

Day 257: My blog for today comes from Winnie The Pooh. A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference. I pray each day that all of those people trying to make life difficult for my husband will get that. Their aunt, sister-in-law, friend, or whatever, is not the same person they knew and if they could just for one second get that---I would be eternally grateful. Every conversation or reminder of her "normal life" sets her back.

If just for once, when they say they are "concerned", would they just consider the disease and think for once about what my husband has to deal with daily. Not just the one phone call here or there to see how things are going. Well, guess what they are doing as best as they can given the cards we/she has been dealt.

We strive each day to provide her with the best quality of life possible for as long as we can and that is more than most people in our same situation can do or are willing to do. That's as simple as it gets......IT IS WHAT IT IS! The bible speaks specifically about judging others so here is my scripture for the week:

Matthew 7:1-3
Judge not, that ye be not judged.

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

I will continue to lift our situation up to the Lord---he will reveal his plan to us. We have to be patient and trust in Him.
