"Dear Christian caregiver, the challenges and heartaches
of care-giving are always present, but the blessings are
there also. How can you rejoice in this day?"

LINK TO THE STORY OF ONE WHO I WAS PRIVILEGED TO GIVE CARE TO
"A missionary who used our recordings as a key entrance to Tibetan hearts before she passed away at age 92. Her work among the Tibetan Buddhist peoples took her throughout the Himalayas and beyond. This dear friend of Gospel Recordings (as we were then known) had at one time sent a Bible and a gospel recording to the Dalai Lama, the god king of Tibet."
My husband, Karl, and I served with Gospel Recordings for twenty years, although, we did not go on any foreign assignments. We did travel extensively through out some of the states before we had children to promote the use of gospel recordings and worked in the home office. (Those years to be shared in a future blog.)
Back to the subject. This care giving assignment proved to be my most challenging and frustrating tenure. I believe I alluded to this story on a past blog. (Ten-bends-in-river-profile) It proved to be a most indoctrinating education into the devastation of dementia and the difficulties posed in caring for them.
Due to those extreme difficulties and emotional toll, I chose to terminate the care within several months and promptly secured another position.
