How is the year 2017 starting out for you? Just the same as the year 2016? Have you broken any resolutions yet or are you bravely trying to keep them. Starting out the new year being quite ill was not a good start for me.

Even my daughters had to come from Alberta to care for their “elderly” mother. What a blessing to see them and trying to restore my dignity and help in a physical way. I will thank the Lord each day for my children and their concern for their Mom. Finally a doctor recognized my problem and with medication I am on my way to get better, even though still feeling weak. 

Many children will understand the dilemma they have to look after parents when they live far away from them. Just be ready to drop everything and get ready to be with them when needed. 

Many prayers are needed for our parents to give them peace and joy this coming year as Paul quotes us in Romans 15:13.
