All Alone But Not Really

As I sit in our home it seems too large and empty for the one that makes it our home is still in the hospital fighting with every fiber of her being. As we spent time together this afternoon we shared memories of days gone by and the real seriousness of the issues we face regarding her health. I was able to show her a performance from the children at church this past Sunday and that made her so happy!

However, as another night falls upon us the tears will surely flow tonight for me I know that although I am physically alone in reality I am not alone at all.

You see, The Lord Jesus Christ is watching over me every single second.

Pacing Yourself Through Hard Times

One of the things that many people feel guilty about is leaving the bedside of a loved one who is in the hospital. I understand that there are times when it is necessary and by all means people should do that during those times.

Otherwise, you are not doing your loved one or yourself any good by just sitting there hour after hour and day after day. I know for me leaving my wife’s bedside is so hard to do and it has taken me time to even come close to the idea.

However, if you don’t learn to pace yourself, you will not be good to anyone. That doesn’t mean your loved one is not in your heart and mind constantly.
