He has a traumatic brain injury that requires very heavy doses of antipsychotic medications. As a result it is like having a very large toddler in my home. I am a clean freak and his constant drooling, spilling food and drinks and inadequate hygiene are very distressing. Because of COVID his stay had to be extended. One day I distinctly heard “he is a child of God with behavior he can’t control, treat him with love and respect”. “Don’t chastise him and belittle him but remind him as you would a child”. I am so glad the Spirit spoke to me. I forgot that he has feelings also and he is my eternal companion. I now gently and lovingly prompt him to bathe and get his area tidy. It still hurts to see him struggle but I remember his trials are just more visible than perhaps mine.
