"Footprints in the Sand of Caregiving" is a compilation of a soul's reflections on its solitary walk on the shore of a lonely island of caregiving.
Withdrawn from my previous routines, lifestyle and social activities to focus on caregiving, I feel isolated and disconnected. In my loneliness and desperation, from the bottom of my heart, I cry to the Lord and the Lord answers me saying: "My steadfast love never ceases; my mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is my faithfulness"
(Lamentations 3: 22 -23).
What a wonderful promise of our Father God! When I am tempted to wallow in the mud of self-pity, I turn my gaze to the Lord. When I become depressed and distressed, I cling to His promise of unceasing love and mercy which are new every morning.
May these reflections lighten your path when you cross the dark valleys of life. May God bless you, my friend.
