Thanks ribit.
That is very true. Like most people, I find myself in the middle of a situation that I want a certain outcome, while my desired outcome may not align with God's plan for my dad.
I hate seeing him in the condition he is in. I also wish my good fer nothing siblings would lend me a hand in taking care of him.
I have come to a couple conclusions though.
1. God's will be done. Not mine.
2. It is certain that if it is God's plan for my dad to come to a swifter life on this planet than a drawn out affair of dementia and Alzheimer's, then GOD is showing mercy by taking him before he becomes a vegetable.
3. I hate it because I will miss him. That is the selfish side of it.
Last, I am not in control. I need and will simply turn this all over to our Creator and God and let HIS will be done.
Thanks for the advice. It is good and sound....
