Sometimes, They're Just Mean

Sunday Feb 21, 2021
In addition to all the challenges of caregiving, many family caregivers struggle under the additional burden of being treated poorly. From accusations of stealing to abuse, the heartache of poor treatment wears down the already burdened hearts of countless caregivers. Maybe it's narcotics or dementia. Sometimes it's sundowners. Sometimes, they're just mean.

Paula from OK called to share her frustration and guilt for not finding a good church home during the COVID-19. Paula's got quite a story and she is VASTLY different than she was when she first called the show nearly two years ago.
Take a listen to her exuberance (and me teasing her for calling me "DAN").
I sent her to watch Stephens Valley Church online from Nashville TN until she finds a church home in OK. www.stephensvalleychurch.com

We often start the broadcast with a trivia question, so I asked the audience to tell me which hymn contained this stanza ...and then we discussed how this affects the family caregiver. ( plus I played it live on the keyboard, along with other hymns mentioned by callers.)
Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;

Kathie Lee Gifford called the show to discuss her new book, "It's Never Too Late." I felt this book would make a powerful and meaningful gift to fellow caregivers. While Kathie Lee remains a household name, Gracie and I have had the privilege of getting to know her a little more up close and personal. You'll hear this in our candid conversation about trusting God in heartache, forgiveness, and loneliness.
Yet, you will also hear a lot of laughter. But as Kathie Lee says about moments of great sorrow that often right turn into joy "...that's life!"
You will want to listen and then share this wonderful interview with delightful woman who's brought joy and laughter ...and inspiration to millions of us for a lifetime.
