Faith Over Fear: Trusting God in Uncertain Medical Moments
As a family medical caregiver I was asked to put my faith in a lot of things. The knowledge of our medical care team. Medicines that were both dangerous and life-saving. Twenty years of favorable results for the surgeries performed on Leah’s heart. The thing I came to realize while listening to the staff during rounds every morning, is that medical care is as much art as science. Each patient is unique in their makeup and responds differently to treatments as a result.
Biblical Encouragement for Caregivers: God’s Love Beyond Measure
I remember the first time I heard the words breadth, length, height, and depth as they applied to the Father’s love for us. While I was running around the house doing my caregiving duties, and just being mom to all three of my kiddos, I would listen to a particular radio show. This idea stopped me in my tracks. Who cares about clean laundry when your spiritual foundation is being reformed?
From Trials to Testimony: Sharing God’s Love in Your Caregiving Journey
This passage is part of David’s Song of Thanks as he and the Levites brought the ark of the covenant to the city of David. He was celebrating, giving thanks to God who had brought his people through every trial. They played music with harps and lyres, dressed in fine linen robes, blew the shofar, and danced down the street in celebration. No one in the city could have missed that testimony.
When God Calls You to Share Your Story: A Caregiver’s Devotional
From the time I received my daughter’s diagnosis in 2016, I knew God had something special for her life, no matter how long it was. As it turned out, we had just two years with her. Her sunny smile and joy touched many lives.
Faith in Isolation: Trusting God When Caregiving Keeps You Home
There was a long stretch of my caregiving when my daughter needed to stay at home. My mom did our grocery shopping. My husband took the older kids to church. And I stayed home with Leah. She was in a place where she couldn’t get sick without very negative consequences.
Keeping a Faith Journal: Finding Hope in God’s Provision
I have a journal amongst my daughter’s belongings. Actually, I have several journals for her that are filled with daily stats such as oxygen saturations, fluid intake, etc., but the one I’m writing about has a special purpose. This one, with its scratched blue cover that makes it look ready for the trashcan, holds the most precious information of all. Inside are the dates when I could see God providing for our family in our darkest moments.
Be the Salt of the Earth: Living Out Your Faith in Caregiving
I believe we miss the implications of salt’s value in a world where everyone has at least three varieties of salt in their kitchen cabinet. Do you understand the important role salt played in the time of Christ? First of all, it is a flavoring. We all know how bland food is without a little dash of the white stuff in there. Secondly, salt was used for preservation of food before refrigeration. You can imagine how valuable that was in a desert climate.
You Are Not Alone: Hope for Weary and Burned-Out Caregivers
Caregiving often places us in quiet distress. It is not dramatic or even visible, but it is persistent and it is heavy. Days blur together and we find ourselves weary beyond words.
