Help!

Doubtless someone—whether it’s a friend, family member, or professional—has shared our afflictions of caregiving. Whether that aid was a hot meal, spiritual comfort, or needed information, have we really appreciated each supporter?

It’s a rare caregiver who complains that too many people have lined up to help out. When support is limited, it’s wise to be abundantly—even excessively—gracious to those who help.

As caregivers, most of us need a helping hand. Our challenge is great and the volunteers few. Though we may not be able to give much in return, we can thank those few who have been our support.

Instead of complaining about the help we don’t have, let’s appreciate what stands before us. When we do that, perhaps we’ll find even new sources of aid as God sends His people to meet our needs.
