God does want us to take on the responsibility of caring for our parents and does want us to be openhanded in our giving, but he also wants us to achieve balance. There are other things in our lives and in his kingdom that must be done. Living successfully means we are even and balanced in the way we live life.

I told Alice, “I think all of us desire to have life the way we want it, but I think God wants us to hold what happens in an openhanded way. When we are openhanded, we give what is necessary to our parents—but when we have the same open hand, we’re also able to receive what God is giving to us or teaching us. I think that’s the key in thinking about the job you face. Caregiving is part of your life now. It isn’t about what we are missing but more about what we’re learning and receiving from the process of the give-and-take of life.”
