What's on your list? This is certainly not an exhaustive list of wishes a Lyme Fighter might have this Christmas... but it's a good idea of where many of us are at.... While others are rushing and bustling about filling their bodies with goodies, and spending all the money on toys that we are putting into doctor bills, medicines, foods....
So, what do you give your Lyme Fighter loved one this Christmas? Some of the items listed are very expensive! But, the most meaningful ones will cost you time, but won't have to cost a lot of money - Here are some ideas:
research Lyme to better understand what your loved one is going through
advocate for your loved one
wear the T-Shirt
wear the wrist band
just be with them (sit with them; hold their hand; bring a warm pack; watch a movie together; sit in the dark and quietly tell them stories, the news, what you love about them as a person)
take over their med schedule for them-- you remember all that needs to be done for them
give them a ride to the next doc apt
bring frozen home-made dinners for their family to have on hand
bring a new comfy pillow or article of clothing (natural fabrics)
set up a foot soak for them
eat like your Lyme loved one for at least a day
find new recipes for foods your Lyme loved one can eat (get ingredients)
affirm their person-hood and value
send a note
offer to watch the kids- or take them out on an outing that you know the Lyme loved one would love for them to do
...
These are only a few suggestions~ I hope others may add their own in the comments area below~
In the midst of everything~ Let us remember the Greatest Gift has come- Jesus. He Is Peace. He knows each of us- and loves us. The Gift of Himself is available to all-- and in return, we can freely offer this Hope and Peace to those around us!
1John 1:5
1 What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life— 2 and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us— 3 what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. 4 These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete.
5 This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. May your joy be made complete this Christmas, no matter the circumstances~ May the Peace, Hope, Joy, Love, Strength..be yours in Christ Jesus~ amen
Blessings~
Merry Christmas, from our home to yours
