Your Question:
What happens when I'm no longer able to care for myself?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many situations where individuals struggle with caring for themselves, let alone others. It's a common misconception that caring for oneself is selfish, but I believe it's essential for maintaining a healthy and loving relationship with others. Just as we need to take care of our physical bodies, we also need to nurture our spiritual and emotional well-being. When I'm no longer able to care for myself, I pray that my family, particularly my wife Susan and our children Joshua and Rebecca, will be there to support me. As a husband and father, it's my responsibility to provide for and care for my loved ones, but I also know that I'm not invincible. I hope that my faith in God and my relationships with my family will sustain me during difficult times. As Christians, we're called to care for those who cannot care for themselves, including the elderly, the terminally ill, and those with chronic illnesses. This is not just a duty, but a reflection of our love for life and our commitment to living as a caring community. By caring for others, we demonstrate our trust in God and our love for our neighbors, and in doing so, we find purpose and meaning in our lives.
