Stewardship - A Way of Life

April 22, 2018 - 4th Sunday of Easter “I am the good shepherd...and I lay down my life for the sheep…and they will heed my voice.” – JOHN 10:14-16 When you pray, do you only ask Jesus for the things that you want? Do you ever ask Him what He wants from you? How do you listen for His response? Usu-ally, the answer is in “quiet whispers”, so take time every day, in silence, to actively listen for His re-sponse.

Thanks to the generosity of Delta Faucet, we have new automatic faucets in all of the student restrooms now. Delta donated all of the faucets and the mixers free of charge. We are very thankful for SMAFA and John Ploeger helping to make the connections to get this wonderful gift for our school.

Over spring break a team of volunteers helped install the new faucets. A big thank you goes out to Steve Greiwe, Kenny Rennekamp, Jim Harmeyer, Bob Kinker, Rick Vanderbur, Ron Lecher, Cole Fuel, David Fuel, Ken Lecher and John Ploeger.

We still need to install the mixing valves for the faucets. Hopefully we can get a time worked out with Dave Geis to get that done this summer.

How Family Caregivers Can Manage Their Anger:

Try to be clearheaded, compassionate and assertive in the face of frustration.

There are ways for caregivers to thoughtfully har-ness their anger, rather than lose control of their emotions and have later regrets. Slow down and breathe. It's a cliché to count to 10 before responding to stressful situations. But giving pause often leads to better decisions. Caregivers are best advised to stop and think through the po-tential consequences of their actions before lashing out. In those brief moments of reflection — with a few deep, cleansing breaths thrown in — better options than simply blowing up often become clear.

Lead with empathy. Putting ourselves in the shoes of those angering us may seem near-impossible when our dander is up. But it can help us better understand their motives and behaviors and take some of the sting away. If I could have empathized with the limitations and frustrations of the nursing supervisor on my stepfather's dementia unit, for example, I might not have confronted her so ag-gressively — and may have received more sympa-thy for my concerns.

Acknowledge sadness. A truism in psychology is that anger is often a cover for sadness. That is, it is frequently much easier for us to pound our fists in anger than to beat our chests in grief. The problem is that expressing anger can lead to defensiveness or schisms among family members. Commiserating together about the sadness that arises when seeing a loved one's decline is a surer way for family mem-bers to pull together, support one another and strengthen their relationships going forward. Turn anger into productive assertiveness. Not all anger is bad. It can be an important signal to us that the caregiving plan is unjust or that we are being mistreated. But it shouldn't be a cue to attack in kind. Rather, it should spur us to think through how to express our concerns firmly and calmly so that those who are offending us are most likely to take in what we have to say. Hopefully, they then respond in a helpful way. If not, we may have to repeat the process — keeping our emo-tions under bridle, pausing to empathize and plan-ning calmly how to improve a frustrating situation. Barry J. Jacobs, a clinical psychologist and family therapist, is coauthor of the new AARP Meditations for Caregivers: (Da Capo, July 2016).
