    Caregiving


    The charism of caregiving enables one to serve by giving of their time and talents to others, so they can accomplish jobs and tasks with ease.  The Holy Spirit bestows on the individual a special grace to bear the burdens of others and help them to work more effectively towards a goal.  Exercising the gift of caregiving is to give assistance or relief from distress where and when it is needed.  Persons with this gift have a willingness to help others even if the job is messy or involves being close to people who are sick or distressed.
     
    One with the gift of caregiving focuses on the individual in need of help, rather than the task at hand.  The caregiver will assist the other with whatever will relieve them of distress at that given time, no matter what it takes.  Caregivers work well with others blessed with the gift of leadership.  They quietly assist others without need for recognition and/or a desire to lead the work.  Their main concern is helping the leader to accomplish the job at hand. 
     
    The charism of caregiving should never be underestimated.  Individuals with this gift are effective support team members.  They work more efficiently when working directly with a person in need of support.  They are more people driven and not task driven.  Accomplishment for them means helping another do their job more effectively.
