PERSONALLY...
I am caregiver for my elderly dad who has
multiple health conditions/problems...this is definitely a privilege, although, I won't deny it does get a bit heavy at times.
I am physically limited due to an auto accident in 1975...in which by all doctor's reports I am suppose to be 75% disabled...God
does heal! My testimony is on my blog and in the book, Unmasking Feng Shui - A Christian Perspective (chapter 15).
