MY CURRENT SITUATION ALLOWS ME TO HELP MY MOTHER, WHO HAS BEEN PLACED IN MY CARE FROM THE GOD FORTUNE OF BEING ABLE TO LIVE IN HER HOME WITH HER. APART FROM THIS I, IN OTHER WORDS, WOULD BE HOMELESS. BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY TAKING RESPONSIBILITY, SACRIFICING MY LIFE FINACIALLY, SOCIALLY, AND EMOTIONALLY TO BE HERE AND HELP HER AS SHE AGES. THE PROBLEMS HAVE BECOME BIGGER THAN ME. BUT I KNOW I CAN DO ALL THING, THROUGH CHRIST, WHO STRENGTHENS ME, TOO! THE HELP I NEED, IN ORDER TO RESPECT HER WISHES AND MY DAD'S, WHO IS RESTING WITH THE ANGELS NOW, BY TRYING TO KEEP HER IN HER HOME, REQUIRES A TREMENDOUS EFFORT OF WORK & HELP OUTSIDE OF ME. I AM ASKING, IN PRAYER, FOR THE HELP OF FAMILY, FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, AND HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS NEEDED TO SEE TO IT THAT SHE REMAINS O.K AND ABLE TO STAY IN HER HOME, WHERE SHE IS SAFE, AND LOVED. IT IS A TASK DEALING WITH PHYSICAL AGING, DEMENTIA, AND TRYING TO INCLUDE YOUR OWN LIFE INAS WELL, BUT WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME, MY MOTHER, AND ALL THOSE GOD SENDS TO HELP US. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

I RECENTLY LOST MY FATHER ON MOTHER'S DAY 2013. HE WAS 91 AND LIVED AN GREAT LIFE. BUT HE LEFT ME HERE WITH MY MOTHER WHO IS ALSO 91. MY DAD AND I GOT A CHANCE TO "GET IT TOGETHER" BEFORE HE DIED, I AM SO GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR THAT BECAUSE I CAUSED A GREAT DEAL OF PAIN FOR HIM DURING A WILD TIME IN MY LIFE. HE ALLOWED ME TO CHANGE MY LIFE SO I COULD BE RESTORED AND BE HERE FOR HIM HELP HIM IN HIS LAST DAYS. BUT ME AND MOM ARE NOT SO FORTUNATE. I'M GLAD I HAVE THIS TIME WITH HER, FOR I FEEL GOD IS ALLOWING ME THE TIME TO "GET IT TOGETHER" WITH HER BEFORE GOD CALLS HER HOME OR ME(whoever comes first). SHE HAS ONSET DEMENTIA AND I KNOW SHE CAN'T HELP THE THINGS SHE SAYS AND DOES BUT IT HURTS, THE THINGS SHE SAYS TO ME. AND WHILE WE BOTH ARE STILL GRIEVING, WE ARE BOTH LASHING OUT AT AND TO EACH OTHER. I HATE WHEN THIS HAPPENS AS I HAVE RESENTMENTS THAT FUEL MY ANGER TOWARDS HER. I WANT TO STOP AND BE THE DAUGHTER SHE'D BE PROUD OF IF AND WHEN GOD TAKES HER TO JOIN MY DAD/HER HUSBAND. I CAN'T FILL MY DAD'S SHOES BUT I SURE CAN STOP ABUSING HER VERBALLY WHEN SHE GOES WHERE SHE GOES TOWARDS ME. PLEASE PRAY FOR MORE CLARITY AND ABILITY TO STOP LASHING OUT. I NEVER WANT TO HARM HER AND GOD IS NOT PLEASED. PRAY FOR OUR STRENGTH TO HELP AND HOLD EACH OTHER UP AND TO BE KIND TO EACH OTHER.

Hello praying people! I am in need of a special prayer request. I have had my life's dream interupted, by God, of course and have had to put my life's dream on hold so that I could serve God thru care-giving for my parents. It is a full time job caring for an aging parent. And I have two, @ the same time. I'm grateful, however, but fear that by time it's all over, I wont be able to do what I've wanted to do for myself. I'm asking you pray for my sanity, my willingness to continue and not lose sight of the prize, and for my parents health and longevity. I know that what God has for me is for me, but if I had the finances, I could be doing both @ tha same time. So a prayer for financial increase would be greatly appreciated too. Thank you all in advance. Quris in Columbus, GA
