If you are like me, it is always difficult to know what to get someone when you want to give them a gift. Giving just the right gift takes knowing a person well, takes time to look for the right thing and takes money to pay for the gift. Recently I read the following clip and was reminded of some of the best gifts we can give.
The best gifts we can give are:
To a friend- loyalty
To your enemy- forgiveness
To your boss- service and honesty
To your child- a good example
To your parents- gratitude and devotion
To your spouse- love and faithfulness
To all men and women- charity
To your God- your life.
Holidays can be stressful. Take time to care for yourself. Please join the Redeemed Caregivers on Thursday, Dec.9th at 7:00 P.M in the Grace House for an informative speaker on "relaxation". She will be sharing lots of tips to help you relax and enjoy the holiday!

National Caregiver's Month
November is National Caregiver's Month.
Many of us find ourselves in the role of caregiving these days. Perhaps a family member has been diagnosed with a chronic illness such as Alzheimer's disease or a physical disease. Caregiving is a long and hard full-time job. How can you, the caregiver, care for yourself? Stay physically fit: get enough rest, eat a balanced diet and take an exercise break. Stay emotionally healthy: take breaks from caregiving, keep laughter in your life, call a friend, ask for help,take time out to be social, and hang onto hobbies. Reduce stress before stress happens: go for a walk, listen to music, and take some deep breaths. Use prayer as a resource.Talk to God on the spot! Remember, you are not the general manager of the universe. That's God's job. Join a support group, such as our very on St. Mark's Redeemed Caregivers.
On Thursday, November 11, the Redeemed Caregiver's will meet at 7:00 in the Grace House to hear a wonderful speaker give tips, encouragement and advice on caregiving. Please give yourself a break and join us.
