Yesterday was an all day visit for Huntington's. We are the first in any of our families to face this unkind disease . We are Blessed that my husband has such good care for something that has no cure. We help out with the studies of it anytime we can. I as a caregiver fill out questionnaires to help them understand what a caregiver goes through.
Unless you live with HD daily there is no way for any to understand.
One of the questions was, on a scale from 0 to 10 how much did my faith help. It was the only question that got a 10. The other information to share was, the positives and negatives of living with HD. If it where not for my faith , I would have not been able to come up with the positives.
The greatest things it has done for me is to fully understand this world God never intended to be our permanent home. It has shown me how to love when it is not easy to love. It has shown me the strength I draw from God daily is what gets me through most days. It has shown me my husband needed me and I needed him. We both have profited by staying beside each other no matter hard this life gets ...
It has shown me this life is hard enough without any added burdens. We as humans place on each other burdens that should never be . Jesus said It is more blessed to give than to receive.
We as humans have set up a world that takes more than it gives , but we have a promise to hold on to , to get us through this threshing floor. I am grateful I had more positives than negatives in a world that tries hard to take those positives away...
That is why faith in God getting us through anything in this life , should always get a 10.
All of us are going through some kind of fire, give it away today ...
