Episode Transcription

Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. For years, my friend Lucy Wedemeyer was the sole caregiver of her husband Charlie who had ALS. Even though she was exhausted from the day-to-day routines of caring for Charlie, Lucy did not want to give that up. But Lucy also realized being a wife meant more than just being a nurse. And so, she reached out for help. Maybe you are in a similar situation, wanting to care for your disabled spouse yet struggling to keep balance in your marriage. If so, listen to 2 Corinthians 1 for it says there that “This happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God.” Friend, sometimes the Lord leads us into challenging circumstances so that we can lean harder on God—and on others. Its why Jesus created spiritual community. So, if you need to find help in your town as you care for your disabled loved one, contact us at joniradio.org.
