For God, who commanded the light to shine
out of darkness hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Since my dad is so frail and has lost so much weight over time, we try to get him to eat whenever he can. He has a sweet tooth and loves pie, cake, and cookies. Quite often, it's the one thing that will motivate my dad to eat when nothing else will.
Of course, we tried to get extra calories in by topping it with ice cream, but is it taking a toll on my dad's health? The last two lab tests have come back with high blood glucose scores. We don't want him to become diabetic on top of his other health issues.
I think one time he heard me mention my concern about this, although others tell me I shouldn't worry, because at least he's eating something. Since then, my dad hasn't been having us put the ice cream on his pie or cake the way he used to. He's a very smart man and is looking after his welfare. I am very blessed to have such a proactive role model in my life. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
