Caregivers Unite

Today I went to the State Capitol Building and witnessed the signing of a proclamation to recognize November as National Caregivers Awareness Month. Then we met on the lawn outside and tied awareness ribbons on a tree. As an added bonus, we were invited across the street to the Governor's Mansion to enjoy a delicious dinner and a tour of the Mansion.

Caregivers are valued members of society because of their service to others. But we are all called to give care to those around us, so this title should include every Christian. The reason we are called to this service is because it is a primary characteristic of our God. I Peter 5:7 says "casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." Jesus is the caregiver of the caregiver!

As important as my day was, all of these activities pale in comparison to future events, spoken of in Biblical prophecy, which will include a proclamation that "it is finished", a magnificant feast for all God's children, and mansions being prepared for US even now. I pray we are all united in our efforts to prepare for THIS Day.
