Shortfall of Over 20,000 Carers in UK now

It is well to remember that there is already a huge shortfall of carers in the UK now and it is no surprise that the figure will rise dramatically to a shortfall of 250,000 family carers by 2041

It would be wonderful if by remembering the true meaning of Christmas if family and neighbours would decide that as well as of spending money on celebration in order to forget for a short while things they would prefer to forget, and spending money on gifts that may possibly lead to debt, that everyone would do an act of kindness for the elderly, disabled, and those in need without asking for payment, as Jesus said “If you do it for the least of these you do it unto me”

It is true that financial payment should not be expected to be given to those who give freely from their heart to those they love and care for, but it is essential that all carers in this world should be in circumstances that enable them to live in order to give, “We are not always given what we want but what we need in order to grow” all carers need to live and survive to be able to do that and the UK government are not providing the means.

Those who are wealthy and comfortable may regard themselves as winners and the rest as survivors, or losers, rich or poor it is the survivors who are the winners in the end it is vital how we choose to be one. All our bodies eventually become dust and it is our choice to leave behind only good energy to remain and continue, as good and bad always reaps what it sows.

Make the meaning of Christmas count and be at peace and enjoy, for inward peace lasts, happiness and unhappiness doesn’t. May life smile on you all with good health and strength and many heaven sent blessings now and in the new year.
