What is your Cause?

Today over at Catch the Bug Challenge Blog we are starting a different kind of challenge.  We are all aware that October is Breast Cancer awareness month however we were talking one day and we realized that everyone has a “Cause:” something that they believe in and want to bring attention to.  Well we decided instead of  just “Pink” we would showcase “Our Causes” so each team member could decide what they wanted to stand up for.   I decided to stand up for Alzheimer’s.   My grandpa and my grandma both suffered from it and my dear FIL passed away almost 3 years ago with complications of Alzheimer’s.   How sad and frustrating it must be to not remember your children and or a spouse.   While doing research I found some great sites for assistance for families dealing with an  Alzheimer's diagnosis my favorite being the http://www.alz.org/index.asp.

In addition to our regular winnings here are 2 more ways that you can win:

Alzheimer's Prayer

Dear Lord,
Please grant my visitors tolerance for my confusion,
Forgiveness for my irrationality and the strength
To walk with me into the mist of memory
My world has become.
Please let them take my hand and stay awhile,
Even though I seem unaware of their presence.
Help them to know how their strength
And loving care will drift slowly
Into the days to come just when I need it most.
Let them know when I don't recognize them
That I will. . . I will.
Keep their hearts free from sorrow for me,
For my sorrow, when it comes,
Only lasts a moment, when it's gone.
And finally Lord, please let them know,
How very much their visits mean,
How even through this relentless mystery,
I can still feel their love.
Amen!
