My Mother was on Hospice and recently died from lung and brain cancer....I took care of her the whole time. At one point I had to change her pants....I did not have the strength to do it! I have SLE Lupus and had been worn out from not getting much sleep for two weeks. One morning my mother could not get out of bed...it took my husband and me over twenty minutes to change her. I was very afraid for I did not have the strength to do it by myself. My husband had to go to the bank for us. When he was gone I had to change my mother. I went into the bath room and cried out to God and said, "I need your help and strength right now Lord. I can't do it by myself...please help me right this minute. I am frightened please help me." I splashed cold water on my face, walked into her room, and was able to change her in less than five minutes. It was like a walk in the park! For me it was a miracle! If you had known me and knew how sick I was...you would know I had no strength in myself....but God is able to do anything....and did! I was able to care for my mother in my home until she died last month. God is good. He is able to do what we can't do. My husband also knew this was a miracle for me....this is only one of many miracles the Lord has done in my life...This may not seem like a miracle to you, but when you can hardly pick up a spoon or fork due to Lupus....and you must change an adult....it is a miracle. When you are like a bird with broken wings and can not fly....the Lord is able to hlep you soar like an eagle.

Thanks Marie,

He's able to do abundantly much more than we ask or think.

You only asked for help in changing her at the moment but God gave you strength till the day she died.

Praise His Goodness and Mercy! Looking forward to hearing more. Welcome!

Oh Marie,
Bless your heart. You called on God and He gave you strength.
Thank you Father!
Dear Marie, I think what you did for your mother was so beautiful
and unselfish.

I pray God heals you from lupus.
Lord Marie is your child, I ask in Jesus name to heal her.
Oh Lord if it be thy will restore Maries health
and give her strength to carry on the tasks to be done here
on this earth.

Bless you Marie for witnessing to us and showing us the power
of our ALMIGHTY CREATOR again!!

Praise God!!

Marie I want to tell you something. My mother passed away last October and she
was very ill for 3 years. She had a blood condition for 25 years.
I had her here and I said too how am I going to change her. She was so
weak and fragile. Every bone in her body ached. I was scared to touch
her and cause her more pain. She screamed at every touch. I changed her underwear and to this day, I don't know how I did it. Through the night she had to go to the bathroom every 2 minutes
because they had her on water pills. My dad drank too much and passed out.
My husband was on the midnight shift. I didn't want to bother my children.
Some how God gave me the strength to carry her to the bathroom.I mean
literally carry her to the toilet every 2 minutes. She was in such pain
I had to call the ambulance. My father couldn't deal with her illness and started drinking. The night she passed away in the hospital all I could do was stroke her
hair and tell her I love her. I prayed and prayed. I could see she was soon
going to heaven. I told her mom say hi to Jesus for me. Days before she told
me she was ready to go. Okay I have to go now because I am crying.

I miss her soooooo much!!
Marie, I am going to keep praying for you.
I pray we both have peace in knowing our mothers are with the Lord.
Marie
