Paul wrote to the Church in Philippi during his first Roman imprisonment, telling them that he had, “learned to be content whatever the circumstances…” (Philippians 4:11-12) When caregiving, the needs of the one we’re tending to often take precedence over our own needs. And when their needs are many, we’ll see ours diminish. That’s when we can either accept it with grace or become offended, irritable, & discontented. Before my husband came home from hospital, I knew my personal space time would be very limited…so the Lord & I had a conversation, “All I ask for Lord is a quiet cup of coffee in the morning, the time for a hot shower during the day, and the space to write this devotional…all the rest of the things I usually fill my day with are just mindless, so help me to use my time each day wisely, by prioritizing it always for my good & Your glory.” And the Lord has been faithful…supplying & filling up my needs as I fill the needs of my husband.
