Our first meeting of the Christian Caregiver Support Ministry brought 18 precious people. With the courage to open themselves to others and respond to the Christian invitation to come (Matt. 11:28) they came, weary and heavy burdened, to seek the fellowship of others traveling on the path of being a caregiver in some special way. Some were caring for adults and some children. Together we seek the hope and healing that Jesus gives in the Body of Christ. Jesus knocks on our door in our worry, hurts, fears and inadequacies and says He will fellowship with us and be with us. We just need to stop and pray and share with HIM. I believe Jesus has been there for me and will be there for each person that comes to Him. We have only taken one step in helping one another. Listening is important. There is so much more to share and stories to be heard. My prayer this week is that the Word of scripture will be heard (listened to) as a personal, specific and comforting word addressing the hearts of each person. It is in our need that the Word speaks to us. Tom Frommer
