How do we go from "pleasant" to "bitter" to "blessed" as caregiver. Sometimes it takes 12 years...
Of the fears within and fightings without which beset us as caregivers, none is more strong than bitterness. Bitterness binds as it blinds. It banishes us from those we are trying to help, as from those who are trying to help us. It renders us ineffective--even as we sin while doing good.
Bitterness comes from many places, including resentment, injustice, unforgiveness, pain, anxiety and unmet expectations.
The 3-fold cure for bitterness is found in OT short story called "Ruth," which should be named "Naomi," as Naomi is the caregiver for Ruth, her ex-daughter-in-law pagan godless "Moabitess."
Listen today as we open the incredible story of Caregiver Naomi, and learn 3 things she did to overcome bitterness and change her name from "Mara" to "blessed." The secret is in "and it came to pass..."
PLEASE: Listen to this great song in Bluegrass style, “He’ll Make a Way” by NewFound Road. You’ll be dancing with Naomi!
