I relation someone chauffeuring you as a family 65 million Americans right now who are putting themselves will avoid the worst disaster. How do you help us look like why should you was this what this show is all about. Glad that you with us if you will be part of the show is 888-589-8840 888-589-8840. We want to welcome all of our affiliates of the Truth Network. We would welcome his radio would suck your lot of the intent to NW PMH 96.9 at Suffolk, Virginia 100.1, Norfolk, Virginia that shows all of culture on the go over 200 stations and were glad that you are a part of this show. This movement of being focused on the for in a caregiver caregiver. Now my 35th year that I've been doing this and up well if acetylene stopped up. Right now I'm in Southwest Montana.

We have a lot of smoke.

We can't even see the valley that I ration I moved out here from Nashville.

We become at her for 30 some years, but we really just decided to move money from Nashville and as I was.

We got up early this morning and went to a medical public for her over in Billings, which is 200 miles away and was sweetly very early and it look like the Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee and because the way that all the smoke is just hanging here but were supposed to have thunderstorms this afternoon. We hope that that will drive some of the smoke away from the fires and it is been a difficult fire season.

We you know we've had some fires out here close to us and that is something that is hopefully going to be addressed by some political leaders. Maybe they can rethink the way they've handled the forest stewardship is a big key of what we talked about on the show and we have to be good stewards of art our lives as caregivers and our loved ones and all those of the resources we have and and if you notice it was her first job in Scripture.

Adam was a steward of the guard. That's what his job was and so we got to be really good stewards of a farce.

You love the standing deadwood around and then it just explodes.

These fires are started, either by people or lightning or whatever and so it's been a little bit smoky out here and so if I sneeze in and call for little bit.

Forgive me on that.

It's not Corona is just smoke must go to our Scripture.

Dave Psalm 4610 Psalm 4610.

Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

One of things are set on the show for us as caregivers that if we don't take time for stillness working. I have to make time for illness to how many of you will take time to be still. We live in a 24 hour news cycle.

We live in the craziness of this world where an election season we've just lost a Supreme Court justice down who's passed away with Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

That's not exactly an antidote for anxiety and already anxious 2020. Are we able to take time for stillness because if we don't have to make time for illness.

Psalm 62 for God.

Verse one forgot alone, my soul waits in silence for him.

From him comes my salvation. Verse two he alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress, I shall not be greatly shaken one of my favorite hymns and I have decided on my door in my office and also have Gracie made it for those you are watching on on the caregiver cam.

It is that on Facebook you can stream the show on Facebook last through our hope for the caregiver page right above my right shoulder. If there is framed this is it for him. This is ponder a new what the Almighty can do ponder a new what the Almighty can do an IT what if you know what him. That's from I give you special bonus points so ponder a new what the Almighty can do. Do we take time to ponder. Do we take time to be still.

Do we take time to re-center our thoughts do you do that I was guilty is everybody else of just living in this frenetic world but as caregivers we have a a know it is often relentless the onslaught of of what happens with us and and the pace that we keep. Just this week.

Just this week Deborah Robbie my 35th year of this on Monday Gracie every couple months yes to go for the special infusions they do and they have to monitor her for it and it's it's it's pretty tiresome for, but it helps reduce some of her pain and some money were there for three hours Tuesday were there for three hours Wednesday morning early. I get up and I had to go to an orthopedic surgeon see about an arthritic knee of mind that I'm having some problems with.

And as they stuck a needle in the Monday I had to think about my wife and I thought what she would want me to scream like a 12-year-old girl and because she's a double amputee, and so have to suck it up a little bit and then I can and that's it. A nearby Bozeman. I would with 60 miles away and then I come back to the house get her going take her down back to the hospital little community hospital where she deceives infusions and do that for three hours and then yesterday we drove for hundreds of miles round trip to see through processes to get her legs worked on. Let's frenetic pace and at some point you gotta take some time for stillness what is stillness look like when you have these kinds of responsibilities. How do you still yourself while still multitasking and managing the craziness and that's a very good question for us as caregivers. That's a challenge for us as caregivers and we don't we don't get the opportunity necessarily to punch her card in and take off. We could even go to bed sometimes would want to go to me and I came home after that last night and I'm doing several things of laundry and and and so forth admin in meals have to be prepared in things such as that.

So when your full-time caregiver that's that's the job full-time.

How do you take time for stillness, so that you don't have to make time for illness and and I learned a long time ago that you cannot wait for it to come about to you, you're going to have to be deliberate in this and you may not get it in the kinds of portions that you would like it may just come in little tiny portions but is still important. Half are you struggling with that. Do you do you keep up this frenetic pace. 888-589-8840 888-589-8840 if you want to weigh in on what you do still your heart.

And sometimes, for me it's it's sitting on the piano a bit of pianist, long before I was a caregiver and I started this would house about five years old plucking out tunes of the piano and then I end up majoring music and a big part of my life is being at the pedal and I stated regular contact with my have had a professor from college. She's retired now is in his 80s and that he had talked pretty regularly and we we talk about piano things amusing things and expanding the concept of of music and what what I'm learning through it. That's a way to cut a recalibrate by my head by heart.

Everything else is just a kind of stop talking about all the other things and just talk about music that Churchill did that he would paint. He said to allow the part of his brain that was being used to rule the world to deal with the world by what rule the world but deal with the world's problems. He would let that part of his brain cool off. He would paint what helps your brain cool off what helps your spirit cool off.

So these are these are things that are important for us as caregivers that we got to find those things he can do it and it won't be conventional we don't get a chance to just go take a break like like maybe some others that you don't get is a okay I will take my vacation next week I will be off for three days doesn't work that way when you're caregiver but that doesn't mean that we don't deserve a break doesn't mean that we don't require a break and it doesn't mean we don't require the ability to silence the noise around us is hard to talk about that's on the show today don't hear what you do 888-589-8840 ponder a new what the Almighty can do ponder the new what the Almighty can you know that him title you could go to you is the joy of the Lord.

I I wrote this to myself really coming out to that 23-year-old version of myself married woman with a broken body and was clueless. Someone right what what you speak to a caregiver. What you say to a character we we would dress for caregiver and and I knew that the topic of caregiving was not the issue because I can't.

I can't tell you how to care for your lovely morning. Tell me how to do flood but what I can do is speak to the train wreck this in the caregiver's heart and and that I do understand that I speak fluent caregiver. But I also learned that it's our Savior's native tongue. And that is great hope for me. All right, let's go to this is Atlanta and Arkansas get to Lanzarote or live in Arkansas.

Good morning, how are you feeling that I called and signed by my mom for three years and restored going yard file and I will wait for a couple hours and take care of my mom.

Or maybe our next caregiving he would not end anyone out for under two hours $23 an hour anyway.

If I think somebody $23 an hour to get yard sale crazy now anyway and I get out like that with the rail like a very and will most yard sales that I've seen for $23 an hour. You could bring that had to bring the yard sale to your front yard and about one half and that went around laughing.

Carmen, nothing happened. I was really tired. So I went down and I had my not knowing it would late. It was getting hot throughout all neighborhood yard telling everyone that current down Kelly a little thing that I just pray for encouragement. The Lord for picking up $25 one time with no rat and guy that many had leather have and strap on it and I can have my kids that dollar and without any because number one I got to get out number two in outlet when another thing where God you now answer let off encouragement what you like about yard sales never got into your says that much of the tickly enjoy going to but I don't particularly enjoy having one what what do you enjoy about it. Normally I don't like pride that you can find people that are unusual. I have a fleamarket years ago in Kauai with Mike and then at the same time I way to make a little money to pay back for my time and effort in that no it with that in saving money. You know you can get really good for that.

Getting there early and I was caregiver I would able to get there real early that time California has been my year-round. You know that with II did not want to live in California.

California is having their heavy going out of business sale right now. Everything must go blessed. Thou will live next. That's that is that is really interesting to hear that from you and I appreciate that you called it a talk about that. You know I there is no right or wrong. There's no I'm always intrigued by what people do to come to still their hearts. What what kind of feeds their soul in one of things I hope that my fellow caregivers will will take on is that there is even if it's if it's rejuvenating your spirit, your heart, your soul, you know, let's do it. Let's let's do it. You may not get to do it this much as you'd like but if it's guarding up at yard sales of its artifice cooking.

If it's no needlepoint what ever it, writing poetry you know if you got a polling that you've written is a caregiver that is meaningful to you because up.

Let us hear it you would love to hear these kind of things because that's that's feeding the the part of your soul that is often starving for some oxygen and ultimately it goes back. Of course, to goes back to Scripture what what were David says in Psalm 62 for God alone, my soul waits in silence and we learn to just go down that path.

And sometimes we have to take a couple of detours to get to that point.

But ultimately, I'd love for us to be as caregivers to learn how to to lean on God for our our our sense of quiet in peace and stillness and that that's what a hard journey for me because are so many distractions are so much noise and and so it's been hard for me so I'm always interested to hear how other people arrived at that place so I thank you for sharing it with their yes ma'am Becky and Ohio good morning Becky how you feeling, Becky wanted number one pick up.

Thank you for this shallow and it has really even now I am not caregiver any longer but it has really been a blessing for me to stay here. The story thing though you did you take care of a look at the notes here you to give your father yeah I and I went a weekend caregiver. I work full time and I live in Columbus Ohio. They live and will the Kentucky Valley for 4 Hour Dr. and you know they were sometimes driving down errors like playmaking ethics is really hard by it really gave me my dad back because we had barely spoken for years before he got sick and actually had surgery and it didn't go well so it was a several year process, but I was so blessed to be able to help could be a caregiver because it it, we hadn't had a relationship and I was blessed to be with him when he passed and what you would you do this for our draft eight hours round-trip yeah I would do you think listen to the radio a lot just kind of flipped around channel then one of the things that I heard it was an old gospel song and I hadn't even thought about it in a long time and I was able to think that in church and kind of you know not verbally that kind of in my mind like dedicated to him which will it was now not to be able to think of the name of it. The memory it was now only that that one still is yeah okay that's the line well did you first. Did you put your hand in the hand of the man. Still, the water absolutely this great app for that is a great that's great Becky that is great. Well, I appreciate you calling appreciate you taking the time to share that it and glad that you had that time of reconciliation with your father.

That's a that is a gift that is a real gift that you were able to do that and I that's very meaningful to hear a lot of people don't get that.

And so I'm glad that you're able to treasure that so what and thank you for sharing that with us today. Thanks Russ the show. Thank you. Yes ma'am, Doris in Texas I doors you got the name of the him I knew Peter honor to speak with you I you every morning every Sunday night when it's over Iran and the name of the song was praised the Lord, the Almighty picking up the King of creation is that a great deal you with fries. Doris win the prize. I will Agree that when we can get in church and I love it so much… It's a bit of it's a wonderful him that's not Gracie sings it better than I did. So I'm not missing out late, but I will say it but I love and ponder knew what the Almighty can do so in my friend Rebecca's watching on Facebook love and I remember her being a much better pianist that I was that we were in college and so I hope she's not judge me too hard in the back door. Thank you for that, you forget that that's one of my favorite hymns.

Ponder, knew what the Almighty can do. Do we take time to ponder as caregivers, do we consider all the worlds thy hand has made as the hymn says these hymns are there for us is a treasure trove to help guide us to a place of being still before the Lord. That's what the Psalms artist David did and that's why love the hymns as well of the music so much endorsing made Monday by getting that right. Appreciate you very much for calling on that okay I thanks for listening. We got go to break Rosemary this hope caregiver eight 885-8988 to hope caregiver. I am Peter Rosenberg. You as a family. 888-589-8840 888-589-8840 if you want to be a part of the show. One of the things we do on the show was try to just clear the room for us as caregivers, as you could tell by now we speak fluent caregiver here. This is a place where you don't have to translate things in your in your mind and try to figure out what's going on. This is a place that is exclusively for the family caregiver cabal into the room, hanging out, grab a cup of coffee.

Just hang and you don't have to overthink this thing will really help clear a space for you even if it's just this one hour that you have all the shows on it would come on Saturday mornings laugh were rebroadcast on the Truth Network on Saturday afternoons. On Sunday nights. AFR does it again it at 10 o'clock central 11 o'clock Eastern run Sunday afternoons on his radio at 4 o'clock Eastern.

I think in South Carolina.

So is that it's just different spots that the weekend but if this is all you can get is just one hour to hang out with fellow caregivers who truly get your journey and that is your entry point to learn how to be still today were talking about taking time for stillness are you would have to make time for illness.

Your body will get sick. Your body will break down you will not be able to sustain the frenetic pace that you keep as a caregiver. If you don't take time to recharge. But what does that look like it stillness and and and rest and sleep.

The these are all different kinds of things rest and sleep are our our different concepts and being still and reflecting on things is is a decision is a choice that you can you go to sleep. We get up eight hours of sleep every night. That is me were resting that is it me were being still asked me to go sleep. This is on a soul level and is your soul tired.

If you been a caregiver for any length of time your soul was tired approach to how you how you rejuvenate this well this is what Scripture says be still and know that I am God.

I will be exalted among the nations all be exalted in the earth some 46 to okay you gotta start with being still and then some 624 God alone, my soul waits in silence where uncomfortable silence given to church when they have have a silent prayer and things like that in it.

It's if it goes on too long.

People from getting fidgety.

It's very hard for people to be silent and still before God certainly is a corporate entity knew it just trots of the master pastor trots up to, but if you'll notice in Scripture there's part of Revelation that I can give you the verse note chapter right now because I don't know it off the top my head. But there's good 30 minutes of silence in heaven.

This could be an awesome moment 30 minutes of silence and only time we usually contemplate silence and that is when there's great grief and mourning and we stop and reflect moment of silence for the dearly departed, or whatever you for that.

It funerals and so forth between teeth take silence for what it is. Sometimes, as is a way of just being a rejuvenating to our spirits. I I've never one time I went out side here in Montana. In the wintertime and we live pretty remotely and we don't have a traffic light account here and it is pretty remote in the wind. Usually house and all that can step in and there's weather but I went out this Monday. It was wintertime. There's a lot of snow everywhere and there was no wind. It was completely still, there was no traffic airplane with no bugs or snowbirds. Nothing. I walked outside it was silent not been inside with a salad but I walked outside it was sunny. It was completely still and is it is a weird feeling.

It is a weird sensation to be outside and to be completely silent, a bit up in the mountains of snowmobile and I would turn off the sled and and you could hear the snowflakes. It was so quiet as he settled on the trees in the in that that that when you have that much snow. It just muffles everything so so even the little tiniest noises you can hear but this was. It was everything was so still that you could just actually hear the snowflakes just resting on the trees and on my sleeve and so forth.

It was is it's a very strange sensation and I don't know that were very comfortable silence. Are you comfortable silence do we have to reach for phones and or turn on the television or or all the other things that go on in our lives that we just have to have this noise and Scripture is constantly referring us back to learning to be still stand still be still be quite hush basically would say because we can't hear the whisper of the Holy Spirit so busy listening to the shouting of everything else Jesus removed himself away from all the craziness people just pollinating. This is part of our journey is fellow caregivers.

How do you do this. 888-589-8840 888-589-8840. It is not a situation I found for me where I can go. I just can have some solace and turn everything off of my mind is the squirrel cage and you know and I've got to take it is a intentional, deliberate thing to be still.

You don't just be still by accident you you you you have to will yourself to stop and be still and for me the way I get to that is usually through through music sometimes go for a walk sometimes getting out of a horse. Whatever.

You know that but but other people it's it's picking up a paintbrush. I got a friend of mine who is really into knitting and and and she is your this is a passion of hers, but it's a way for her to just come to be still and let her mind just kinda coasted that point. And those are healthy things for us to do this to me. We have to just sit in a room with her hands folded in her lap and do nothing because I think that takes a long time to get to that point we could just learn to just be still and sit, but maybe it starts off with turning off the television. Turning down the audio clutter in her life just sitting down just be still and know that he is God and these are hard things for us to do is caregivers.

I never forget though God was working on me. Evidently in this area and when Gracie would be in the hospital I would be eight a frenetic source of energy in me. I was just all over the place is on the photos of this this, but in this particular season of our life. I was learning to be still and I was sitting next to her in the hospital and following a pretty significant surgery and I was reading through just the diminutive thing. What good order for dinner for that night from the hospital cafeteria which those of you spending time with hospital cafeterias. You know how exciting that can be but I was reading through it and she was sleeping in the hospital bed next to me that when mothers know uncomfortable recliner chairs. I have next to the hospital bed and I noticed her breathing so I looked over and she was blue and she stopped breathing. They had overshot her anesthesia or pain medicine after surgery, which is very difficult for her to manage that and they overshot it and I was only one in the room and I don't think she was on monitors that point and and so she'd stop breathing and I immediately call for the nurses and so forth. They came in there and they intubated her and got her into intensive care.

She was okay but if I hadn't been there and if I had been still, she did not. That drove home a point to me in a pretty graphic way that it is a it is imperative that I learn to be still, because ultimately God is moving in this thing in my frenetic behavior, however much I think I'm getting done can't even touch what he can do if I'll just be still be still and know that I've got. Be still and see the salvation of the Lord, if I not been still in that moment and just sitting there, just being still. She did not. Something to think about is all the work that I done as a caregiver to that point with Ben for not.

She did not because I wasn't paying attention, but because I was being still. I saw and I was able to to get help for her and move on.

And so God was moving when I was being still, it was just one of those lessons that drove home to me that how this really isn't about me it's about him and I am a steward of this if I will listen to the soft whisper the Holy Spirit how many of you all know that the Holy Spirit is a, just kick down the door if Jesus is, behold, I stand at the door of what not is not beaten to death. Elijah didn't hear God it all the craziness that we heard the still small voice and that's the point that we drive home is that we think that somehow our frenetic this in our our craziness in our multitasking abilities and so forth that keep this whole thing on the rails. That's not the case at all is is not the case at all. What keeps us on the rails as God and he's going to do what he's going to do. He invites us to be a part of this. He invites us to share in this but the lesson I'm learning is that to make no mistake, this this is not about me, and I think that that that caregivers tend to put this over overemphasis on that this is all up to us.

That's one of the landmines in my book 7 caregiver limits thinking that it's all up to me, but it's not it's not all up to me and that's a hard thing because we see how much activity we do. We know that the logger is not to get done by the by itself. Breakfast is it going to get made by itself, but the concept is that we do what is that our hand the best of our abilities but we also exhibit stewardship over our own spirits are own hearts, our own souls, we can learn to be still, because it don't take going to have to make time for illness and what is a good time for you to be sick with a good time for you it's it's a hard learn to walk is will to dispute. Rosenberger never helped somebody walk for the first time I've had that privilege many times through our organization. Standing with when my wife Gracie gave up both of her legs follow this horrible Rick that she had as a teenager and she tried to save them for years and if it just wouldn't work out. And finally she relinquished him and thought wow this is that I'm not happy legs anymore. What can God do with that and then she had this vision for use in prosthetic limbs as a means of sharing the gospel to put legs on her fellow amputees and that's what we been doing now since 2005 was standing with work in the West African country of Ghana and you can be a part of that through supplies through supporting team members through supporting the work that were doing over there. You could designate Olympus all kinds of ways that you can be a part of giving the gift that keeps on walking and standing with.com would you take a moment ago what to standing with.com and see how you can give they go walking and leaping and praising God. You could be a part of that@standingwith.com is a caregiver. What about the show.

This is hope for the caregiver IP Rosenberger 888-589-8840 888-589-8040 D believed these are things that are important for us as caregivers to to wrestle with an grasp in her heart because it's cold reflect on how we then care. Give but if our heart is a dumpster fire. Imagine what her caregiving looks like a bachelor Wallace look like our bodies look like all these things are important for us to contemplate, to think through it and and I I wanted just to be able to have this time with you all today because I know that were going into what I call the. The absolute nutty season for caregivers. The fall is is a hard time start into the holidays. We got election going on. We got all this drama in our country we got the coronavirus we all these things. How do you settle down how you simmer down. How do you slow down, I would leave you with this quote trust squeeze a few more calls, but will leave you with this quote never doubt the power of inactivity. Never doubt the power of inactivity was at me.

We somehow think that the more active we are, the more productive we are physically were we get things going. The better were doing our job. I used I still and I still struggle with this with with Jesus rebuked Mary and Ami Martha when when when Mary and Martha were there it at the house geez and Marcus, I hate Jesus get ready come in helping some stuff in it he rebukes it like she's doing what she needs to be doing right now it and course they all ate the dinner that Martha fix Martha Stewart all the hard work.

I thought Martha got kind of a bum deal in this, but it still the principal still the same and not what I really reconcile that out yet on how that works out last Jesus about it one day when when I meet them face-to-face us to hate what was the deal about that because you know you could've made dinner with Martha but she was in her doing all the work that we caregivers weakly do all the work, but but he said he was very clear what he said look, this is this is the priority you know that Scripture seeking first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added unto you and and what we have our priorities straight. What it is were seeking what it is were doing was the purpose was to go where it was his headache and it takes some deliberate steps for us to reorient our thinking to do this, you do not unintentionally be still. I don't think so. At least that is a caregiver. I haven't figured out how to do it. I think it's a decision that you make going to be still, and sometimes I feel like I am just blowing and going like it like a horse. After running a race. I remember that the young don't make fun of me for this and that but but this next year about experiences which are usually fraught with failure, but hopefully it makes the point Grace and I were at the Republican national convention in 2004 in New York and Gracie saying for the opening of the second night and first time any kind of any any woman with a disability never done that for any commission they asked her to sing the anthem when she did get there and were staying at the Waldorf-Astoria, not a cheap place to stay. Okay and and then we she did her thing and then the next day we got a call from the White House and they wanted her to stick around for another couple of days and be on the platform with the president when he gave his acceptance speech that Thursday night okay let's quite a lot of okay were okay with it and up but then the RNC which brought us up there. The Republican excrement they they said we don't know anything about it. You guys need to go on home and go to your flight leaves today and why it. This is the RNC say this at worst a the and I'm watching the bills mount up.

You okay something okay who's going to cover the Waldorf-Astoria of the next to the skit of what fortuitous they could change airplanes and everything else in it at that particular point in our life. I didn't have a whole lot of disposable cash and and I was just kind of a little bit frantic and I remember getting on the phone left by about Gracie, dad talk to you and eat it. He said be still and I set down in the rocking chair in the room with the Waldorf-Astoria and I sit there and I was just blowing like a horse. I really what I just like what I do what I do have watch the bills got up I just sit there and was still for a few moments it took me quite a bit of time just to Settle myself down to just trust that okay this is on the workout board is in control of the sling and about an hour or so later got a call from the White House and it was okay were good stead and so good and Gracie looked at me and just kind of arch that eyebrow tsetse and that it was embarrassing meaning in it in the scope of things. It's kind of a silly stupid thing, but it at the time it was very real to at the time it was important and I was scared and I was nervous and you know what I've got it, a disabled woman and I've got bills mounting up and everything else, and I've got you. This is a national platform and all these kinds of things and so it was a little bit unnerving. But if you go back and look at some of the footage that you can see Grace nestling over the press over his left shoulder was you to speech.

It was kind of funny. Learning to be still to sit down and be still out there forget that moment it was of it. That's a painfully embarrassing thing to share, but I figured out y'all used to that by that with me listless if we squeeze and Rodney from Texas rugby how you feel like my call. I really did enjoy the program. I happen to log down the road thank you all here. We quite welcome. Thanks for listening.

But what the hell uses.
