SPIRITUALITY

In the month of November our hearts and minds turn to Veteran’s Day on

November 11, a time when we say, “Thank You for your service.”

I served for several years in the United States Army, first as an officer in Armored

Cav, then in the Chaplain Corps with a Combat Engineer unit. The term

“Chaplain” became very important to me.

Let me further explain. November 11 is not just Veteran’s Day, it is also a

commendation of St. Martin of Tours. Why is that important?

Martin served in the Roman army and later, as a monk was appointed bishop of

Tours in Gaul, which is modern day France. A story is told of Martin that on a trip

back to Tours he encountered a beggar who was literally freezing in the night.

Martin took his sword and cut his cape in half and gave the beggar half to use to

keep warm. Later that evening Martin had a vision of Jesus…wearing that half of

his cape. Martin took his half and hung it in every place he served. He became

known as the “keeper of the cape”, translated as “Chaplain.”

So, on this time we celebrate Veterans service and St. Martin, let’s also realize

that the best illustration of chaplain is the ministry of Prayer Shawls…the

keepers of the cape. Chaplains, whether they look like soldiers, priests,

ministers, or fellow residents wrap people in the love of Christ and in prayer

support.

Very blessed to be one of the keepers of the cape,

Chaplain Joe

Are You a Caregiver?

Nearly 65 Million American’s take on the role of Caregiver in some form.

The Caregiver Action Network (CAN) is the nation’s leading family caregiver organization working to improve the quality of life for the more than 65 million

Americans who care for loved ones with chronic conditions, disabilities, disease, or the frailties of old age. CAN serves a broad spectrum of family caregivers ranging from the spouse of an aging couple, to the parents of children with special needs,

to the families and friends of wounded soldiers; from a young couple dealing with a diagnosis of MS, to adult children caring for parents with Alzheimer’s disease. CAN (formerly the National Family Caregivers Association) is a non-profit organization providing education, peer support, and resources to family caregivers across the

country free of charge. http://www.caregiveraction.org/

10 Tips for Family Caregivers

1. Seek support from other caregivers. You are not alone!

2. Take care of your own health so that you can be strong enough to take care of your loved one.

3. Accept offers of help and suggest specific things people can do to help you.

4. Learn how to communicate effectively with doctors.

5. Caregiving is hard work so take respite breaks often.

6. Watch out for signs of depression and don't delay in getting professional help when you need it.

7. Be open to new technologies that can help you care for your loved one.

8. Organize medical information so it's up to date and easy to find.

9. Make sure legal documents are in order.

10.Give yourself credit for doing the best you can in one of the toughest jobs there is!
