Recently, at a caregiver support group I lead, a man who is caring for his wife suffering from Alzheimer's, shared how she repeatedly peppers him with the same question.

"I sighed for a moment in my heart," he said. "And then I said to myself, 'He's got this; answer her question.'"

Listening to him, I thought, "What a tremendous statement of faith; to look at somebody who is suffering from Alzheimer's who asks the same question over and over ... and over.

He stopped himself from getting agitated and preached to himself.

"He's Got This. Answer her question."

That's a worthy goal for all of us to aspire to incorporate in our lives: recognizing that God has this, and we can meet others where they are - not where we wished they could be.
