Hints From Heaven

HINTS FROM HEAVEN I’m currently engaged in the best job I’ve ever had. I’m a full-time caretaker for my elderly Mom. Some of the hints from heaven are: Never forget that she gave you life in the first place. Remind yourself of this, when you are sound asleep, and she calls for youat 3:00 AM, just to ask if you were asleep. Know that she will wake up cranky some mornings, due to her aches and pains. Change her diapers with cheer, in spite of the impact on her dignity. Do this with a kiss on her forehead, and a reminder of all the times she changed yours. Never forget the treasure God has given you, with her daily presence in your life. ...JBR

James, I believe she watches from heaven. I know that she appreciates all of the good you did for others in your lifetime and for her in the end. Sorry for your loss. Lovingly, Dane Ann

You are such a dear man, James, and your mother is very blessed to have you at her side now. You truly have my admiration and respect. A war veteran who still has a gentle nature in dealing with his elderly mother. God bless you, James, just as he blessed your mother by sending you to her. Much love, carolyn
