I am age 84, a believer in Christ and am facing all kinds of challenges. Abuse of the elderly is common. Two doctors maimed my feet 5 years ago and I can hardly stand or walk. Left lung always feels pain.
Pastor of my UCC Church visited once FOUR YEARS AGO and has not called or visited since then. He has placed me on the "housebound" list in the weekly bulletin. Only the Church Organist visited me about 4 times before I was awake and only spoke to my wife. Flowers are delivered on every holiday.
All family members have broken off with my including my brother and my son. Grandkids never call or visit. Only my wife stands by me 100%. My daughter visits once per week for 30 to 60 minutes and calls for 3 minutes per week. She sometimes answers my calls.
I've gotten back to reading the Bible as God's Word seems to form a bridge to Heaven.
I've been in Hospice for 3 weeks and my primary care physician thought I would die that very day last October.
Only Christ is with me every minute of every day. I await his Call to take me to Heaven.
