Your Question:
Can I still be a good parent if I'm too sick to care for them?
Answer:
As a parent, I've had my share of struggles with caring for my children, especially when they're sick. My wife Susan and I have been married for 19 years, and we've learned that it's essential to prioritize our children's needs, even when it's challenging. Our son Joshua is 17, and our daughter Rebecca is 14, and we've seen them face various health issues over the years. When I'm too sick to care for them, I don't think it means I'm not a good parent. In fact, it's okay to ask for help and support from others, whether it's family, friends, or a professional caregiver. As a pastor, I've seen many families struggle with caring for their loved ones, and it's not uncommon for parents to feel overwhelmed. What's most important is that our children feel loved, supported, and cared for, even if it's not by us directly. As a father, I've learned to rely on the guidance of the Holy Spirit to help me make decisions that are in the best interest of my children. I pray for wisdom and strength to care for them, even when I'm not feeling my best. I believe that it's not about being a perfect parent, but about being present and available to our children, even in their times of need. By doing so, we can show them that we love and care for them, and that they are a priority in our lives.
