Over Doing The Giving

<p>An interesting thought was shared in my morning prayer, "For who we are isn't to be a self but rather a united generation." &nbsp;Inspired by a conversation about being a caregiver. &nbsp;In the past three years I've been very close to three who've given a huge part of their lives away to serve those with Alzheimer's. &nbsp;They didn't choose this leadership role. &nbsp;They were called to it. &nbsp;I've never heard them complain about the expectation. &nbsp;I call them Earth Angels. &nbsp;It's never been about self. &nbsp;As we grow with this modern wave of sights and sounds we're seeing this inside the borders of other nations such as Poland. &nbsp;They are welcoming Ukrainians with open love and comfort. &nbsp;This generation cannot fold. &nbsp;We must remain in the mindset of outreach. &nbsp;But we must be aware of how being so giving can quickly become a heavy weight in your soul. &nbsp;Burn out. &nbsp;Getting beyond that wall requires awareness. &nbsp;Knowing how you got to the burn out stage while still locating the strength to continue reaching out. &nbsp;Tomorrow is always unwritten. &nbsp;Being a giving person is a true gift. &nbsp;Be in touch with the soul. &nbsp;Once it's been burned out it's extremely difficult to get back to giving. &nbsp;</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/arroe-collins/message
