Hebrews 5: 8 Though He
were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered. 9 And being made perfect, He became the author
of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him.
My dad is a very cause-effect oriented person. He doesn't like having to urinate so frequently, which is one of the symptoms of his health issue. In order to solve that, he chose to not drink any water to stop this problem.
Well, this causes side effects that are far worse than urinary frequency. He's had an on-going theme of worse sense of balance, etc. when he gets dehydrated from not drinking enough liquids. This is a tricky one, because according to my dad's logic, his not drinking water solves one of his major concerns, not going to the bathroom so much, especially when traveling.
Wanting to respect my dad's wishes, but knowing the importance of liquids, I had to be prayerful about this. I felt led to talk to his Home Health Nurse who is the one person my dad trusts to give him the straight scoop. After talking to him, my dad will get back to drinking liquids again. Unfortunately, this is a re-occurring issue, because my dad still wants an immediate solution to urinary frequency. It's two steps forward and one back, but I feel so blessed to have my dad here with us for whatever time that God allows. Hebrews 5: 8 Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered. 9 And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him.
