Who would ever consider serving others as being the most fulfilling role in life? Being a caregiver far outweighs other opportunities in this life and lays up treasures for us in heaven. When we think of how much the Lord gave for us, what more can we do than give all that we are for those we love. When we find ourselves in the place of service, the Lord gives the provisions that are needed. He does not call us, expecting that we can handle this role on our own, but it is a time to experience His presence, His wisdom, and His strength. As our needs draw us closer to Him, we not only see that we "do what we have to do, " but that we do more than we thought we could do. TWO FULL PLATESHow does a woman with a selfish, rebellious, and domineering spirit, learn to handle adversities? When things don't work as she plans the author of TWO FULL PLATES comes face to face, not only with her own failures and disabilities, but she encounters the God who planned and created all things, providing for all that she needs for herself and those she loves. The author of TWO FULL PLATES had to learn how to deal with not just one full plate, but with two, and sometimes more. She found that in her own strength she was as handicapped as those for whom she had to care. In her life as a caregiver for her children, her grandchildren, her father as he was dying of cancer, her mother with Alzheimer's disease, and her husband, who had to have a leg amputated, her whole life was changed, not just because she was the one on whom the responsibilities fell, but because she began to see that God had been preparing her for this as her main role in life She has been enabled to see His hand at work throughout her life for the role as a caregiver the work that has become the joy of her life.
