People talk about whether or not they live a good life and the truth of things is that you can judge whether or not you have a good life by one very, very simple standard.
Are you able to use the bathroom by yourself without anyone else’s help.
Seriously, you think this might be a small thing but it’s really not.
I remember my father being at the home and at one juncture pointedly telling me how much of a problem using the bathroom with anyone else around was for him and how modest he was. He remarked how the nurses would ‘assist’ him as he put it ‘like a baby’ and he didn’t feel any shame at all.
However, when you really think about it, being able to use the bathroom by yourself means you can walk and that you have your wits about you. It’s not much but it’s a pretty good thing when you thing about it.
Thank the Lord for being able to take a dump by yourself, there may come a day when you’ll be wishing you had that ability.
