Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be
condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Luke 6:37
When my dad first got here, he prepared his daily doses of medications himself. At a point, it seemed that he started forgetting to take them, at times. I realized that we needed a new approach.
I got him a two row pill dispenser. It had a section for Sunday through Saturdays pills in both the morning and the evening. This worked for a while, but then, I kept noticing he would run out of medicine sooner than he should. What happened to his meds? I can't be angry with my dad, because he doesn't realize that he's done this.
I realized that he must be forgetting that he had taken them, and be taking them again. Becoming concerned that this might have a detrimental affect on my dad's health, I was prayerful about this situation. The idea in my mind, which is often how God works in my life, it to put rubber bands on each day and to move it over to just expose one day of medicine at a time. Although it isn't perfect, it is working out better and the weeks worth of medicine is lasting a week. That's a big relief! I am truly blessed in the ways that God works in my life to assist my dad. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Luke 6:37
