Caregiver, in case someone hasn’t mentioned it, you are a treasure – radiant, precious and rare. You care, bestowing your gifts in a time when the world may not seem so bright or pretty.
You are treasured as highly as the diamonds, rubies, and sapphires precious gems in this world. These jewels, rarely recognized in their natural state, are cut, faceted and polished, until they sparkle for the whole world to admire. Like these stones, caregivers shine. And when the world may not seem so pretty, remember this gift – a treasure box to keep in your secret place, so you will be reminded time and time again of how priceless you truly are.
