God In The Ordinary: Candy Arrington

God In The Ordinary

How often are the senior members of our communities forgotten? Is elder care something that we in the church should consider as important? In today's edition, host Sharon Tedford talks with Candy Arrington who unexpectedly found herself caring for her elderly mother, whilst at the same time raising her young children. Candy talks about how she developed the skills to serve her mother and all the personal lessons she learned from those interactions; and how, after her mother passed away, she quickly realised her senior aunt also needed her care and attention. Candy also shares about the deep pain and the immense joy that comes with elder care; and shares some great tips on how we can all reveal God to those in our circles who are senior. Join us as we talk about how caring for others brings personal and spiritual growth even in the most challenging life circumstances. Candy’s story is inspiring and will help you think about how to engage with and share the hope of Jesus with people who are aging.
