Building Healthy Families: When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant, I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years. (Mark Twain) Truth be told, parents and their children get along much better when the adolescent years are over. Dr. James Dobson once said that the goal of parenting teenagers is simply to survive and live to tell about it. If you and your family are navigating the turbulent waters of adolescence, don’t give up. It will get better! Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Bulletin Announcement for October 5, 2025

 

Building Healthy Families: A recent CDC report on Alzheimer’s Disease noted that caregivers experience a significant level of burnout. It also noted that caregivers benefited from receiving education, respite care, and support. These lessen the burden of caregiving and improve the care received by their loved one. Anyone who has loved and cared for a family member suffering from this terrible disease would say Amen to that obvious conclusion. Who has God put in your world cares for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease? They likely won’t ask you for help…but help anyway! Take the initiative to do yard work, clean leaves out of the gutter, prepare food, or give them the gift of time away while you sit with their loved one. Bear one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2 Lutheran Family Service  www.LutheranFamilyService.org
