Creating Love in Ourselves

Caregiving can bring out a capacity for us to love beyond what we have previously.  How many of you have previously helped someone in and out of a wheelchair?  I did have that experience when I worked with children with disabilities, but, it took 5 of us to safely get my loved one out of his wheelchair and into the dentist chair -- I was not used to an adult who is now unable to help or stand or move his own body.  Such a risk of him falling, or one of us getting hurt!  It is in facing situations like that that our own love capacity is grown -- toward ourselves and others.  We can become better people by being caregivers.   It is a matter of choice.
