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.

“...and Your Neighbor as Yourself”

During Long Term Care
you will meet other residents.
Speak to them.
As you are tired, they are spent.
As you feel lonely, they are alone.
As you seek encouragement, they need it.
You feel confined. They are confined.
You can come and go.
Yours is the free spirit,
the stronger heart,
the brighter mind.
Speak to them.
Though they are weak, be helpful.
Though they are strangers, smile.
Though they are ill tempered, remain patient.
Though they are confused, stay constant.
It is a small price to pay.
A few kind words,
will make a dark existence bright.
Speak to them.
