Dad's prayer

Therapy says “this is as good as he will get.” Insurance says now we must self-pay. Many facilities say they don’t want him because of undesirable behavior. The professionals say with this disease, it is hard to predict what will trigger unusual actions. He doesn’t know where he is, has angry outbursts, refuses to comply, stays in bed for days at a time, he forgets words, but God has not forsaken him. The Spirit is still at work in his life. Amazing. This was his prayer at lunchtime on Tuesday…short, simple, yet clearly spoken and profound.
"Heavenly Father,
We ask you to help us with all the decisions we have to make this day. We thank you now for this food; bless it to our bodies’ needs. We pray for each of our children that you would guide and direct them so that we may honor you. In Jesus’ name, Amen."
