By leaning on God's word, we can find the strength, courage, and endurance to continue our caregiving journey.
🙏🌈 Let us remember that God loves us and is with us every step of the way. He sees our sacrifices, our tears, and our weariness. He understands the burdens we carry and promises to sustain us. May His word bring comfort and encouragement to all caregivers, reminding us that our work is seen, valued, and blessed. May we continue to love God, believe in His power, and show love and compassion to one another. May we trust in His plans and find rest in His presence. May God's blessings be upon all caregivers, filling their hearts with strength and patience. Amen. 🌻🕊️

Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate."

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 – "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize."
