My supports include the love of my children and my faith in God. Yes, I do need to make "to do lists" and of course, I need financial support to live in this world, but the daily love and support of my children and my faith in God is what keeps me believing that I can do anything. My children are my strength; they give me the courage to endure I lot of things I probably wouldn't even bother with if it wasn't for them. My faith in God allows me to stay positive and believe that all things are possible. It would be difficult to exist without these two supports because I need both God and my children as a part of my daily existence.
The challenge I imagined is being physically challenged with something like blindnees. I would want to have the support of family and friends to help me to adjust to my challenge and learn how to live with it. I would need for my family and friends to arrange my home in a way that I would be able to get around on my own without someone to constantly help me. I would need for them to help me with the things I couldn't always handle such as reading things that I couldn't or describing something for me so that I could develop a clear picture in my mind. I would still need the support of my children, and I will probably need it even more and in a different capacity because now I would be more dependent on them. My faith in God will always be constant for me regardless of what challenges I may face.
Our common thought is our faith in God as our support and guide. Thank you for professing your faith. Our children are great supports and without them live would not be as colorful.

It's comforting to know that you also consider God to be a support in your life. Physical supports can only do so much for us. Often we must rely on our faith when we encounter challenges in life. Thank you for your post.
ReplyDeleteAs Cathy mentioned it is comforting to know that you also consider God to be a staple in your life. I am sure that you also view prayer as an essential source of support. Isn't it amazing how children can be supportive to parents by the way they smile, or by doing good in school? They can serve as our best cheerleaders somtimes. Thank you for sharing your post.
