I was searching for a support group of individuals caring for elderly parents when I found this blog http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/PatriciaWHunter. It really hit me because first of all, it is written by a Christian woman, who talks about caring for parents and has comments from others caring for parents. I think it will help me - by reading the thoughts of others who are sharing some of the same experiences as I am with my Mom.
Unfortunately, I can no longer care for her at home, but my love and devotion to her has not changed. She is one of the most important people in my life and I miss her being here with us.
Though the Lord is high, yet he has respect to every lowly, humbled sinner; but the proud and unbelieving will be banished far from his blissful presence. Divine consolations have enough in them to revive us, even when we walk in the midst of troubles.
And God will save his own people that they may be revived by the Holy Spirit, the Giver of life and holiness.
If we give to God the glory of his mercy, we may take to ourselves the comfort. This confidence will not do away, but quicken prayer.
Whatever good there is in us, it is God works in us both to will and to do. The Lord will perfect the salvation of every true believer, and he will never forsake those whom he has created anew in Christ Jesus unto good works.
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Psalm 138:8

Bless your heart! I just discovered that you had linked to my homeschooling blog and thought I would come visit you. I am keeping my grandbaby today and don't have much time to respond, but I promise I will return. In His love - Patricia
