Splendor and majesty are before Him, strength and beauty are in His sanctuary. Psalm 96:6
One thing I would love for all caregivers to have is a sanctuary. Sense almost everyone is caring for someone, I think we all should have a sanctuary. A sanctuary is a place of refuge and a holy place.
Over the years I have had a number of sanctuaries. As a child I remember all of the beautiful sanctuaries I worshipped and learned about God in. I especially loved the stained glass and wish it were in every church. I remember the "sanctuary" of being served communion. There is no greater remembrance of such a great sacrifice.
I love the sanctuaries found in churches but there are also other sanctuaries that can be found in numerous places. As a teen, during some difficult years, my sanctuary was found in a dear friend's garden while eating snow peas. She taught me about God there and she loved me through my insecurities. As a young adult my sanctuary was in Turkey Creek Canyon in Colorado. I would drive up there regularly to spend some time with God. Later in my twenties, I found God in the prayer garden of a sisterhood I stayed in. That sanctuary was holy and peaceful and even though I wrestled with God for control, I knew He loved me...deeply.
When we lived in the Houston area, it was a little harder to find my beloved sanctuary but I finally did on a bench overlooking Nassau Bay. I especially loved the light house! Since I have been in Texas I have looked for my sanctuary. I often find "sanctuary" in a field of wildflowers.
About a year ago my sister-in-law made a sanctuary for herself and I loved it! So I have been working on my own, right outside my back door. I go there to rest, to read, to pray, and to enjoy beautiful flowers and birds. It is becoming my place of refuge....my holy place.
