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
