Join 5-Minute Parenting with special guest, Diana Derringer, as she shares her compelling story as the caregiver of her husband for the past twenty years. Diana shares candidly about the miracles, hard times, and blessings of being his caregiver.

Her husband's health diagnosis 21 years ago launched Diana on a roller coaster ride, with many ups and downs. But in the midst of it all, Diana chooses joy daily, and is on the show today to share encouragement for riding the challenges and sometimes chaotic circumstances of caring for someone with a serious health diagnosis.

Although Diana's story is one of a spouse, her wisdom and practical tips apply to anyone in a caregiving situation. Parents are the ultimate caregivers, of course, and many are in that tough life stage called "The Sandwich Generation." Caring for kids and aging parents. Is that you? Listen in and be encouraged!

Diana is an award-winning writer and author who shares hope and joy through devotions, articles, dramas, Bible studies, planning guides, and poems in more than 70 publications, including The Upper Room, Guidepost, The Secret Place, and Missions Mosaic. She also writes radio dramas and television programs for Christ to the World Ministries and shares weekly blog posts on Words, Wit, and Wisdom. Her adventures as a social worker, adjunct professor, youth Bible study teacher, friendship family for international university students, and caregiver for her husband supply a constant flow of writing ideas.

Rejoice

Some days we bask in the sunshine.
Some we dance in the rain.
Others we slog through storms
that never seem to stop.

Throw open wide your arms,
Embrace them one and all.
Squeeze every moment’s joy …
every
single
drop.

“This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24 NKJV).
