The Names of God – The Living God

by myconcretedove | Oct 12, 2021 | Blog, Christian, Five Minute Fridays, Joyful Living, Prayer, Teach

Dear One, Let’s talk about the Living God, Elohim Chayim, today. Even though we read about Him in our Bibles, an ancient text, He is still alive today. God is current. He knows our struggles, joys, and challenges as they creep in from the past and sit in our...

Rescued from feelings of Rejection and Fear for Good

Are you ready for rescue from those same old feelings of rejection or fear? Even after desperately seeking and finding healing (you thought) on your own, do you find yourself back in that familiar prison paralyzed by the what if’s? Yeah, me too sometimes. On the...

👩‍🌾 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

A little self-care can make it easier for you to be a caregiver to your aging parent. 👩‍🌾I planted a lettuce garden earlier this summer and found that nurturing it nurtures me. 😯Self-care comes in many forms, some of which can surprise you, like this little garden has me.

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.
