Clinging To Sanity

Philippians 4:13 "I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me"

It takes a lot to remain sane. There are genetics that can be a big factor in what your later years have in store for you and there is the ultimate consequence for the choices you make through out your life. I am concerned that I may have both stacked against me.

When you care for a mentally ailing matriarch of your family it brings a lot of emotions and thoughts to light for yourself and the family surrounding you. Who will be the next one to "go crazy"? If we live our lives in a certain manner will it expedite the process? I'm convinced it most certainly will.

After living through this emotionally draining week I've come to the thought that if in all things you do your best to be a God-fearing, genuine and happy person that it will solidify your core personality. Be cheerful, selfless, humble, self-sacrificing, honest, kind, generous and loving in all things. For when we grow old (in mind, not body) the staples of our lives, the core personality traits and flaws will be without discretion any longer. You could possibly drive off the family that fights with you through so many personal battles.
