While in college, I worked for a music star in Nashville who had a long driveway lined with beautiful trees. A tree service was called to trim them, and the results were not what the star expected.

I opened the show with a hymn from my CD, Songs for the Caregiver ...and shared i offered the message of this hymn to a listener struggling to care for the parents who abused her.
A line from the hymn: There is a place of quiet rest, near to the heart of God. A place where sin cannot molest ...near to the heart of God.

"I'll Get Help When It's Beyond My Control"
Tuesday Jul 20, 2021
Tuesday Jul 20, 2021
Two different caregivers shared the same sentiment to me this past week. “I’ll get help when it’s beyond my control.”
When I quietly asked what shape they (and their loved ones) would be at that point, they both gave them same response: silence.
Many caregivers competently (and admirably) handle enormous challenges. The issue, however, is not how competent the caregiver is today. Caregiving takes a huge toll on physical, emotional, fiscal, and spiritual health. The time to ask for help is not when we’re overwhelmed, but to seek it in stages long before the critical point.

"Hurry Up and Relax?"

Monday Jul 12, 2021
Why do so many push themselves to extremes in some sort of a mad dash to "vacation." The recent crowds over July 4th at Yellowstone provided a teachable moment for caregivers.
Are we frantically '...hurrying up to relax?"

From our broadcast on June 12, 2021. Can we as caregivers cultivate gratitude in our lives regardless of our loved one condition(s)?
“Gratitude is not only greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.” – Marcus Tullius Cicero
