And the Critics Say ...

This is Peter Rosenberger and this is your Caregiver Minute. In an emotional phone call, a friend shared recent criticism she received while struggling to care for her husband. Already reeling from significant heartache resulting from her husband's condition, the scolding rocked her. You should have done this.

You should have done that. All too many spectators of caregivers often feel empowered to offer advice to those shouldering the challenges of caregiving. Sometimes non-caregivers bypass advice that goes straight to criticizing. I suppose it saves time.

As a rule, the best opinions to heed usually come from those possessing training and education relating to the impairment of your loved one. And I love this quote from Theodore Roosevelt. Because there is no effort without error and shortcoming. But who does actually strive to do the deeds?

What if those weren't options? You'd say, well, I'm new to the faith. I mean, I need to know what it means to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus.

You know, you would pray that someone, anyone would bring you a Bible. And that's exactly the way it is for literally millions of Christians around the world. They're part of our spiritual family. They're new to the faith.

They want to know what it means to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus. But God has them planning where it's very difficult to access a Bible. And that's why the Truth Network and Bible League have teamed up to send God's Word to 3500 Bibleist believers around the globe.

Our campaign is called The World Needs the Word. $5 sends a Bible. $100 sends 20. Every gift matched. Make your most generous gift by calling 800-YES-WORD. 800-YES-WORD. 800-YES-WORD or give at truthnetwork.com.
