Your Dying Spouse 423 - Caregiver, You Belong To God {#adventphoto2017}

Too ill to say much but this - dear caregiver, when you feel hemmed in by circumstance, by demands and duties, and by the implacable cruelty of watching someone you love die, remember that your husband or wife belongs to God...and so do you.

So Mary must have reminded herself, carrying the Baby within her, and then holding Him in her arms, and knowing the road ahead.

I hope it was a comfort to her, as I hope it is a comfort to you.

Here's Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring, performed by Celtic Woman.

Today's keyword for Advent-Photo-A-Day is belong.

Friends are everything. I couldn't have done it.

I have another blog, "Starting The Day With Grace". The focus is a grace quote from someone you might not expect (like, say Mick Jagger) and a short commentary. I hope you'll join me.
