How has my life changed since I have become handicapped? Of course the big change has been the inability to walk. Most of my life I have been a regular walker -usually in the mornings before work and on weekends. I really miss these times.
I miss going to church and being with friends, I enjoy the live streams and I am thankful for that. But since they seldom show the congregation I miss much of what is happening with the congregation.
I miss going to s restaurant. I haven't been to one for several years. Oh how I miss going to Chick-filet or even Burger King for that matter. Those are just memories now.
Believe it or not. I miss going to my study and my desk. My wheelchair won't fit down the hallway. That's been hard but thankfully there is technology that helps me get to some of my work.
I miss driving. I need a driver and caretaker every time I need to go a doctor. It is often hard to find help.
It is often lonely and the days can be long with little to do. Friends have their own plans and agendas. Television is boring. And I am limited in what I can do.
It is nearly impossible to go shopping and complete jobs that at one time were simple to do without help.
Naps are now easy to take but then I can't sleep at night.
I can no longer go to basketball games or wrestling matches or musicals, and I do miss that.
Vacations are a thing of the past. Oh how I'd love to go Ocean City Maryland once again.
Personal care assistance can be a challenge and help is usually needed.
Newspapers and mail are now very hard to get without help.
But despite the changes, God has not changed. He continues to be faithful and all that we need. He provides what we need and our trust remains in Him.
