Living Still is a gift from God through Christ for you, a way to pass along lessons already learned.
Long Term Care dominates life. There is no time to meet others like yourself, to compare notes, or ask “Am I doing this right?”
This typically happens: The one in my care has died, so I’m supposed to leave and take all of my experience with me. You would be left alone to struggle along the same path I've already traveled, to face the same fear, to ask the same questions, to learn the same lessons, all the hard way.
Living Still is for you. For a record of lessons learned, for a witness of the faithfulness of God, for a testimony of the love of Christ, for hope in the life you live and the life you care for, please accept Living Still.

Do All You Can Now

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-2 
1To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:
2A time to be born, And a time to die;
Psalm 126:5
Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy.
Galatians 6:9
And let us not grow weary while doing good,
for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart
Matthew 25:40 paraphrased
“Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you cared for one of
the least of these My children, you cared for Me.’


Do all you can now for the one in your care.
Neither the sorrow, nor the drudgery,
nor the pain of this will last.
This time will end.
Let go of those things that restrict you:
television, sports, events,
meetings, class suppers, choir, long weekends.
They will come again.
Care now that you may receive care.
Love now that you may be loved.
