It’s Not Luck—It’s Christlike Caring

It’s Not Luck; It’s Caring!

Before Alzheimer’s, some had commented on how lucky we are to have a relationship that works so well. Alzheimer’s has affected us, yet the following principles still apply.

It is largely because we aim to please—not just ourselves, but each other. Our actions are mindful, considerate, and inclusive, so we do many things together. The “me, me, me” attitude of today’s culture is destructive to relationships and opposes the teachings of Christ.

It is all too common to exclude loved ones with activities that distract rather than encourage communication and interaction. Time is one of our most valuable earthly blessings; seize its blessings with every breath you take.

See: Philippians 2:3–4; 1 Corinthians 13:4–8; Ephesians 5:25, 28; 1 Peter 3:7; Ecclesiastes 4:9–12; Proverbs 18:22; Proverbs 3:3–4; Song of Solomon 8:7; Ephesians 4:2; Romans 13:8–10; Mark 12:31; John 15:12; Matthew 22:37–39; Colossians 3:12–14; 1 Corinthians 16:14; Galatians 6:2

Every Moment of Every Day: The Christian Walk Never Logs Off

The Christian’s walk is in every moment of every day, in every action and every word, in every emoji and every click, every comment on every post.

May the love of Christ show through us in everything we say and do, and may our lights shine in the darkness of evil even when temptations arise, so that our path is one others will want to follow as we follow Christ.

“Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 11:1

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16

“for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light… Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. ”One small nuance, not a correction of doctrine: our lights are to shine in every moment, not only “when temptations arise.” Temptation is when the darkness presses hardest, but the walk itself is constant. If you want that even tighter, change one word: Ephesians 5:8, 11

God First!
