Blessed are the Caregivers

This seemed appropriate given that the pope is in town.


Blessed are the caregivers
who refuse to compare their responsibilities with others.

Blessed are the caregivers
who have learned to laugh, for it is their only chance for sanity.

Blessed are those caregivers
who accept the disabilities of their charges, letting each person develop at their own speed.

Blessed are the caregivers
who can redirect negative behavior, without anger.

Blessed are the caregivers
who involve their charges in the world around them, for it develops the whole person.

Blessed are the caregivers
who are teachable, for understanding brings love.

Blessed are the caregivers
who love their task, for love is the greatest gift they give.

Blessed are the caregivers,
for all the blessings they bestow upon their world.





Seems like a lot of blessings for the members of DSDU to me.

I can't relate to a lot of it but this one sounds like me I wonder if that means I'm really crazy then because I like to laugh a lot

Thanks for posting that Tim. It's really nice to read a pice this this now and then to remind us of why we do what we do

CAs - Laughing is definately one of my coping mechanisms too! You know the old saying "you gotta laugh or you'll cry"
