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.
