Peter encourages us this week with Safety First.
Pursue “healthy” and “happy” will find you! The path to safety will always be found in the person of Christ, so when panic begins to set-in, RUN to Christ.
Our World Has Changed
These days answering our phones can be risky business! Scam, intentional misleadings of all forms, anything can become a safety issue.
Peter shares reflections of the impact of death but also it’s death’s defeat as our Savoir came out of the tomb in triumph!
Peter's heart is heavy as he talks about the shooting at Covenant Church School in Nashville, he and Gracie's form home and church. Much of the program focuses on how we can trust our God in the very hard things of life as Peter share his losses with us all.
The world of caregiving is a big tent that includes unique individuals and many different situations. Peter shares some of his own experiences and hard-learned lessons to encourage you and enlarge your perspective about your own unique predicament.

This week on Hope For The Caregiver Peter tell us to comfort with the same comfort that you have received – Scripture is our guide.
God is always there with His eyes WIDE OPEN to our pain that He allows, and He never flinches. Just like medical instruments in the hands of skilled doctors, experience can be a tool for weakening and strengthening in the capable hands of our loving God.

How do you know if you are a caregiver?
Weathering the “Caregiver” storms – respond according to the sever conditions.
Social media messages - What we tell ourselves matters.
Say something that’s meaningful – speak to the need.
Provide assurance - it’s pointless to argue with impairment.

Christmas decoration and the seat of power.
Stu Epperson Jr. – The First Words of Jesus _ 2nd segment – Urgency of the Gospel message
Peter talks with Colleen Swindoll Thompson about the losses in life, especially handling life when it all goes sideways.
Her honesty and transparency will help anyone dealing with life when it is out of control, in her book, Reframing Life: Focusing on God When Life Gets Sideways and Learn more about her ministry,
Holidays and caregiving are not always compatible but if we remember we are stewards and not obligated merry makers it can help.
Embrace new traditions, Getting above the chaos with solitude and what that looks like are two things Peter identifies for us – it is not isolation.
And finally a cautionary tale - “How much trauma is acceptable?”
The theme is Thankfulness as we continue the holiday just a bit longer through the week end.
Happy Thanksgiving!
