My Burden is Light...: Handmade Gifts -2

WELCOME FELLOW CAREGIVERS,

Whether you care for a SPOUSE, CHILD, PARENT(S), FRIEND, we pray that this is a place for you to find encouragement; something that will help you or refresh you on your journey as a caregiver. Know that God is the only faithful companion, HE will never leave you, nor forsake you. God alone is faithful and able to equip you for this incredible ministry.

(Colossians 2:2 - That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;)

Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel: "My way is hidden from the LORD, and my just claim is passed over by my God"? Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
---Isaiah 40:27-31
