Welcome to Caring for Caregivers

Caregivers are defined as special people caring for others. We could all, pretty much, think of ourselves as 'caregivers.' I recently read a wonderful book by Steve Guttenberg - "Time to Thank Caregiving for My Hero." On page 224 there is a quote, about caregivers, attributed to Rosalynn Carter. Mrs. Carter says "There are only four types of people on earth: The first is a Caregiver. The second will be a Caregiver. The third has been a Caregiver. The fourth shall need a Caregiver." We, every single one of us, will be playing a part in this journey I especially think of the family member caring for a special needs child and those caring for a spouse (or parent) slipping into dementia.
As Caregivers we need to take care of ourselves - keep our relationship with God strong. Take a few minutes to, each day, to have God time. Know what you "do" to stop and listen - I do my needlework. Pay attention to Psalm 46:10 "Be STILL, and know that I am God." (emphasis mine) Take a few minutes to check out the blogs, Scripture references and the devotional, and the devotional blog here on the website. There are so many resources available locally, on line and at the state (and national) level I encourage you to do some research where YOU are. If you are interested, or need more assistance with Bible study the email [email protected] will reach me. There is also the Facebook page at #focusforcaregivers. |
