Take Care of the Caregiver
Chaplain Wade Graber
September 10, 2020
Hey Team CareGivers (TCG Family and Friends)!
One piece of advice that I have given to caregivers throughout the years is this: Be sure and take care of the caregiver.
In other words, take care of yourself as you take care of your loved one. Somewhere in the biblical mandate to “Love your
neighbor as yourself”, you need to unselfishly love and care for yourself, so you are in the best condition to love and care for
others.
This morning I’m wondering about you. How can I care for you and show love to you? This wild and wacky world has caused
everyone some kind of anxiety or hurt at various levels of intensity. Maybe you are mildly shaken by all of the chaos in the world,
or maybe you are “shakin’ in your boots”. Whether you are somewhat unsettled, or extremely fearful, I would like to be able to
encourage you today.
As I offer my availability to share your struggles in life, remember that God is available 24/7. You can cry out to Him at any
moment of any day. He is omnipresent–always present everywhere. He will never abandon you. He goes through the trials of
life with you. His empathy is perfect as He experienced more temptations and suffering than any other person, while He was on
the earth. He is the ultimate Caregiver!
In Him,
Wade
“Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you (I Peter 5:7).”
