INSIDE OUT

Most women just love being loved and cared for, and reminded daily that they are special, but for a man, the number one thing in their life is to feel respected. When he doesn't, he will often go back into his own little world, where he feels safe and secure.
A perfect picture of this, to me, was when my David became so sick that he couldn't communicate very well with people. He was a man who was use to being in control and having things done to his satisfaction. He was precise and to the point, but when Cancer takes over, it shows no favoritism to anyone, and David was no exception......
When the day finally came, where my sweetheart couldn't make sense of many things, and his mind became cloudy, I think he knew it, and he was disgusted with it all. That was just his type of response. Rather than try to muddle through it, I think he chose to withdraw, as do many people, because it is safer and more secure to do so!
That's when our understanding, patience and love for those people must come in. They haven't gone anywhere. They are still inside that body, only visiting in another room, and the door to it is occasionally locked.
As long as the sunshine and fresh feeling of love permeates the room, there will be a feeling of love throughout their room, even when we don't see a response back. The dignity and respect that they deserve should always be there, and they will receive it, through the channel of the Holy Spirit.
He knows the murmuring and groaning of our hearts as well as theirs!
Stand firm and seek the Lord, when going through a time such as this, for you never know, when the time such as this, might be your own!
