Just think how many of our memories and celebrations are intertwined with food. Food is the love language of our lives. For everyone has special dishes only made for certain holidays…and everyone uses food to celebrate birthdays, special occasions, and parties. That’s because, if you think about it, food is a huge part of our lives as a means of socialization, love, and showing we care. So when a loved one’s declining health affects their desire for food…it can cause feelings of helplessness and guilt in us. But know this is a perfectly natural response as the body starts to shut down. So rather than forcing food and fluids on them in a power struggle that neither of you will win…offer bites of their favorite foods and sips of fluids. For the type of energy they need right now is a spiritual energy, acquired from the spiritual bread and water that only Jesus Christ can offer.
