Tonight, we were blessed to have Shelly Beach speak with us about "Care taking". Shelly is the author of 3 books, Precious Lord, Take My Hand, Abundance Grace, and her Christy Award winning book, Hallie's Heart.
Shelly shared her stories about caring for her family; her father-in-law and her parents, struggling with OCD, Alzheimer's and dementia. She shared with us what she learned during the process of caring for her family in her home.
The heart of care giving is to be the heart of Jesus to others.
Jesus was a caregiver in all his ministry. We can classify care giving as being based on a motive and that motive is love. Jesus is our example.
Jesus tended, administered and healed. Jesus spent time privately praying. Jesus spent time with friends praying. Jesus publicly gave thanks and reflected glory to God. Jesus faced crisis with calm assurance. Jesus is our example.
Our ultimate source of strength is who you are in Jesus Christ.
Thank you Shelly for coming to share your story with us.
No Club Mom and Girlfriends next week. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
