  4  “The Word gave life to everything that was created  His life brought light to everyone”.  “In the beginning The Word was with God and The Word is God. Life exists so that you can co-exist with God’s creation. Think of it as being in the garden of Eden, after the Fall.  You walk and talk with God, as Adam did. You have dominion over birds, fish, land and created things, as Adam did. God created the heavens and all things to bless you, as He did for Adam. All that God shared with Adam, He now shares with you. And all that Adam experienced, God wants you to experience too. Such as, God’s faithfulness in providing all, and God’s love over you, just as He had done for Adam.  Can you recognize these riches in your life? Do you experience the good things along with the sorrowful and painful things with joy and hope, just as Adam had to learn to do?  God’s character and love remains the same towards all His creation.

  Came across this in a post… ● If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality. If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it. ● If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you. ● If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me. ● If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself. ● If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded. ● If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am. ● If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, dance, listen to music and visit with friends.

                         STRUGGLES Let’s discuss what you are facing. Do you believe that you are alone in this struggle and think that others do not struggle with these issues. It is true that we all have different ways of dealing with pain, self-control, being alone, shame, fears, and many more unspoken emotions. Why don’t we talk about it? You are not alone! Many of us face thoughts and fears. Such as, afraid of how our thoughts control us; being alone, being forgotten, having no interest in others, wanting to be alone because no one can understand you, and many other reasons, for the struggles that you face. I for one, have a tough time dealing with thoughts of anger. Not sure where this is coming from or how to deal with it. What I am learning to do about it is to stay positive. When I notice the anger rising, I talk out loud and work on turning that negative thought into a positive one. Another of my examples would be when I see happy couples enjoying themselves. With
