Daily Devotions
February 13
I have a confession. For a couple of months earlier this year I got sucked into some viral videos where people read aloud messages left on Reddit boards. Long tales of ruined weddings, unfaithful spouses, and bad employers came with a laugh as the hosts gave advice on how the situation should be handled. What amazed me was how frequently people’s lives were being devastated by the selfishness of others. It is proof that we do indeed live in a sin-sick world, where people often prioritize their own needs above the needs of others.

Caregiving is a weighty thing. Though we may choose to do the work, we often feel it is heavy with its endless responsibilities, emotional strain, and the ache of watching your loved one struggle. It may feel like you have no pause for rest or know of anyone who truly understands your frustrations.

Caregiving can stretch love to its limits. There are days when you give your time, your energy, and your patience, and you still feel like it isn’t enough. In these moments of isolation and exhaustion, you need the sustaining power of God.

Have you ever made the statement that things would be easier if everyone just thought alike?

Life as a caregiver is like riding a rollercoaster. Our medical team warned us of this early and often. One of the things I realized after awhile is that when the ride is smooth you are often recovering from the bumpy parts. Then the smooth gives way to the next dip and the cycle continues.

I love to garden. It is one of the joys of my life to go muck around in the dirt and see God’s beautiful creation up close. It also makes certain parts of the Bible come alive for me. Agricultural symbolism is heavy in scripture. While it made sense to a lot of the audience of the time, many people today don’t understand the deeper meaning.

Since the time of the original sin, people have lived in a broken world. We hear about it every day. Crime, wars, disease—all byproducts of this gap that was created between us and God. Since this is the case, we all understand the natural life cycle. Birth through death, we all have similar milestones that link us together. So the question is, why are we unable to talk about it?
