· Philippians 2:4
Caring for someone does not mean deciding every detail of their life. Ask what support would help and listen to their preferences. A respectful offer leaves room for a real answer, including a kind refusal.
A question to sit with
Am I offering help or taking over?
One small step
Ask what would be useful before stepping in.
Pray
Lord, make my care patient, respectful and generous. Amen.
