Hope for the Caregiver with host Peter Rosenberger

Perpetual care VS Episodic Care

Peter helps us think through our very real challenges as we support caregivers asking, “Are you prepare to support him or her in the way you’re thinking for the long haul?”  

Peter warns us to think it through, count the cost and examine our motives before launching any type of actions from meals to shopping to cleaning and financial assistance.

Peter gives us another angle on our safety as family caregivers and also touches on his new book, A Minute For Caregivers.

As we care for our loved ones, we need to also build our lives to be as strong as possible and flexibility is the key. Many storms will come and if we are rigid, we will break. We trust God His best, in His time, and the blessing of AFR.

One More Thought on Safety

Peter begins with a cautionary tale saying, “Signing a prenup? Know what the boundaries are – Forewarned is Forearmed! “

…and give yourself some time to grieve properly BEFORE considering remarriage, letting God’s purpose be your plumb-line. It takes what it takes! Get your MBA from God in the book of Proverbs.

Peter’s report from Cameroon.

“Should” & “Need”: get rid of those thoughts and words. They will take you into a place of lies from the enemy. Christ is our safe place, our shelter. Lean into Him in times of difficulty.

Also, for those who think they have something to add to the conversation, Peter offers two thoughts:

1. Know your audience. 2. Know your message.

Peter talks to us about how small efforts in the right direction can pay off in big ways. Zechariah 4:10 warn, “Do not despise small beginnings.” It’s in you; let it out!

Live life IN your circumstances, don’t wait until the circumstances change.

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.
