Our God, Jehovah, is the Relational God. Through prayer, we can have a conversation with God and build a relationship with Him. And, by the way, He already knows each of us—even those not actively seeking Him or trying to avoid Him altogether. So how does one enter...

👩‍🌾 Family Caregivers, have you planted a 👩‍🌾 Family Caregivers, have you planted a garden this year? I know what you're thinking. That takes time and extra work! 🥬🍅But look at the payoff! I wasn't going to plant a garden this year, either. But then, I picked up a couple of tomato plants. Then, the cucumber plants were on sale for $1.00. I already had a one-pot lettuce garden going, so I jumped in with both feet. 🥗 Now I have a salad garden. Many summers ago, I planted much bigger gardens, and I always enjoyed caring for them. But the years caring from my sister became quite full and heavy, so I gave up my annual garden. 🚫 At the time, we weren't talking so much about self-care, and I didn't truly appreciate the selfcare aspect of gardening. But since then I’ve learned that taking care of a garden can take your mind off other things that might be more stressful. For me, it's caring for Mom. What is it for you? Growing a garden gives us something to look forward to... The next leaf The next flower The next tomato! And then... Fried tomatoes A crisp sandwich Pickles SALAD! Possibilities for selfcare are endless. So, if gardening isn’t your thing... Stretch Walk Run Cook (personally, I like to chop a lot of things for a big pot of something on Sundays) Knit Write (even a quick morning journal routine and be helpful) Paint (watercolor is my favorite) Try growing a garden (a little patch of flowers counts) Selfcare can take you to another place, a healthy place, a place just for you. What's your favorite way to care for yourself? If you can't think of one, then it's time to start. 💐 . . #caregiverselfcare #selfcareis #gardeningisselfcare #caregiverstrong #caregivingjourney #caregivinglife #gardeningisfun

My brother and I alternate days visiting and making her a meal. I've never noticed these two trees intertwined, creating a beautiful sculpture, like a gift tucked away in the corner of the park.🎁 God reveals something new to us every day, so pay attention, family caregiver.
