Hope for the Caregiver

When A People Groan

What can be said to people who suffer—and groan? When we see ourselves, loved ones, neighbors, and even our nation groaning under injustice, some may thunder out, “God’s sovereign!”

In those moments, however, may we instead state with deep conviction (and often through tears) that there is One who groans about injustice and suffering on our behalf …and He will one day make all things new.

Caregivers Have Tears, But Do We Ever Laugh?

As Caregivers, we certainly live with heartbreaking circumstances, but is there joy ...and even laughter? 

Now in my my 35th year as a caregiver, I don't think Gracie and I could do this without keeping a sense of humor. In today's show, we talk about that, play a few hymns, and take a lot of calls.
