Taking care of yourself is an important and essential part of taking care of others. Right now you may have a newborn in the house, a gaggle of toddlers, a elderly parent, or a infirmed spouse demanding all your time, energy, and attention. But if you do not attend to your our physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing…they could be potentially going it alone without you. The stats are eye opening…30% of caregivers die before the people they are caring for. Caregiving demands result in increased stress, which results in poor health because of neglect, which ultimately takes it toll. When it comes to caregiving of any type, it makes sense to “Put your own oxygen mask on before you assist others.” as well as looking to God for peace, comfort, strength, and wisdom. ”I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me.” (Psalm 40:17)
