\u201cShare with the Lord\u2019s people who are in need.\u201d Romans 12:13<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I\u2019ve written before, my good friend Bob has Parkinson\u2019s and is in a skilled nursing facility. The Parkinson\u2019s has robbed Bob of his autonomy. He can no longer get in and out of bed without assistance. He struggles with things I take for granted, like shaving, brushing my teeth and feeding myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He smiled at me and mumbled, \u201cHalf as much, Jack.\u201d I was touched by His patience with me and I began to cry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
