Blessed In Aging–A Prayer

A sweet lady is asked to say Grace at a gathering of "Home Instead" care givers, and she brought down the house about 90 seconds into her prayer. Enjoy!  http://www.caregiverstress.com/2010/07/a-reminder-that-laughter-is-the-best-medicine/

Blessed In Aging

~Esther Mary Walker

Blessed are they who understand

My faltering step and shaking hand

Blessed, who know my ears today

Must strain to hear the things they say.

Blessed are those who seem to know

My eyes are dim and my mind is slow

Blessed are those who look away

When I spilled tea that weary day.

Blessed are they who, with cheery smile

Stopped to chat for a little while

Blessed are they who know the way

To bring back memories of yesterday.

Blessed are those who never say

“You’ve told that story twice today”

Blessed are they who make it known

That I am loved, respected and not alone.

And blessed are they who will ease the days

Of my journey home, in loving ways.

I’m also going to try to see if they can provide any care for me.
