I’m no doctor
Or expert on diseases
Matter of fact
I’m no expert on anything
But of one thing I’m certain
God loves us all
I know some don’t believe in God
That he doesn’t really exist
They say, “Where’s the proof”?
My reply, I don’t need proof
My adoptive mother died from Alzheimer’s in 2008
My adoptive father at 95 has Alzheimer’s now
A life robbing disease it is
But by God’s design, I believe not
There are many things in this world
Many bad things
Of which I don’t know the origins
Bad things happen
I don’t know why, they just do
And when people don’t understand why
By nature, we want to blame a culprit
To ease our saddened hearts
Yes, Alzheimer’s will take my dad
But I refuse to throw God under the bus
I don’t believe God’s
In the business of taking life
He’s there to welcome life home
He’s there with love for all
When an Earthly body
Can do no more
God is there with open arms
With love for our loved ones
To keep them all safe
Until our own time comes
And we can join them there
God needs no defense
But even if I have to stand alone
I’ll have God at my side
I mean no offence to anyone
Whether or not you believe in God
You may believe as you wish
I’m not here to offend anyone
Even though our beliefs may differ
What we believe in
Is a choice we all make
And what I believe is
There’s someone or something
Bigger than us
Who loves us!

A poignant write AP.
Anyone could just chirp out: 'God loves you'. It makes us feel sick (and we're sick of them too) if they are 'all OK' and life is cosy for them, maybe in a religious cliquey group.
There are believers and non-believers on this touchy subject Orchi. I;m not one to push my beliefs on anyone, but here I was just stating what I believe while acknowledging that I know others won't agree, and that's ok. We all have a choice in what we believe. Thanks for stopping by Orchi. ; ) AP
Well told, life is full of highs and lows and your beautiful words reflect this perfectly.
Thanks Andy. I just tried to state my own beliefs in a hopefully non-offensive way. Everyone is free to believe as they wish. ; ) AP

I was a christian, I have been a Chaplain and had the belief in the christian god. My wife had sung a praised the christian god all her life but when dementia started to take her no matter how much praying saved her and eventully she was taken - WHERE WAS THE christian GOD WHENSHE NEEDED IT.
I subsequently gave up the christian idea of god but I know that there is My God which is there for me. I now believe that organised religion is a farce and a pack of lies.
I believe Jesus existed but I look upon him as the first Hippie - make love, not war.
May your god go with you AP.
Andy
