Sheri is trying to learn to let God's love be enough for her, but she is human and wants love and affection she can see and feel. She wants her husband to comfort her and tell her they are in this together. Some days she just does not want to make one more decision alone. She doe not want to gather, direct, or do anything that is more caregiver like, then wife like. Then she realizes that love is all of those things. Jesus did all of these things for her as she looks back over the the last few years of her life. He held her, made decisions for her, gathered her belongings, directed her path, and cared for her while she was in turmoil through her cancer, the Alzheimer diagnosis for Bob, bankruptcy, joblessness and foreclosure of her family home. It is so easy, when things are better, to forget where you have come from and how you got where you are. Sheri needs to pause, praise and pray. God is good.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Sheri, "Pause, praise and pray" are the wisest words I have read, anywhere. I am going to post this in my home as a reminder. It seems so simple, why do I keep forgetting? When I do remember to pray, you are in my prayers. Thank you again for sharing your journey. Janice in San Diego
