Download or read book Caregiving with God written by Lois Cox and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My life before my husband's stroke was a whirlwind of activity. I worked multiple jobs at times, pursued and completed three advanced degrees, and finished my teaching career. During the move we completed to Oklahoma City in July 2014, I was writing my doctoral dissertation and teaching an online graduate education class. I hoped for an encore career in Oklahoma City.On February 24, 2016, Jerry was unable to wake up. After spending the day in the Emergency Room, a doctor came in to give the diagnosis and prognosis. Jerry suffered a rare and serious bilateral thalamic stroke and probably would not leave the hospital alive. He told me the kindest thing I could do was to withhold food and let Jerry go.At the same time, God told me to "Be still, stop striving, and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10) For the first time in my life, I was forced to stop everything I was doing and focus on my God and the strength I now desperately needed to move forward. Over the next 22 amazing months of Jerry's life, God worked with me, Jesus held my hand, and the Holy Spirit gave me inner strength. The lessons I learned through these days are shared in my book. My prayer life became a lifeline. My quiet time became a necessary start to the day. My relationship with my Lord grew during those 22 months more than it had in the previous 70 years of my life.

Download or read book Formed Together written by Manager Keith Dow and published by . This book was released on 2021-03 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joy, pain, celebration, and grief are constant companions on the journey of caregiving. While remaining detached might seem the preferable option, it is not possible to disentangle the threads of our interwoven stories. Our lives are shaped by each other. We are transformed by our encounters. In Formed Together, Keith Dow explores the questions of why we should, and why we do, care for one another. He considers what it means for human beings to be interdependent, created in the image of a loving God. Dow recounts personal experiences of supporting people with intellectual disabilities while drawing upon theological and philosophical sources to discover the ethical underpinnings of Christian care. Formed Together reveals that human beings care for one another not merely by choice, but because every person relies upon others. People are called together in mutually formative practices of care, and human flourishing means learning to care well. Dow suggests five virtues that mark ethical caregiving, such as humble courage and quiet attentiveness. These practices can help guide caregivers in responding to the divine call to care. Dow demonstrates that ethical practices of care do not depend upon intelligence or rational ability. Many are called to the vocation of tending to and being present in the needs of others. To be formed together in the divine image means that caregivers never entirely comprehend themselves, others, or God. Rather, caring well means that humans are to accompany one another in and through experiences of profound mystery and revelation. --Thomas Reynolds, Associate Professor of Theology at Emmanuel College, Toronto School of Theology, University of Toronto
