what can i say about a great staff that pushes past the comfort zone on a consistent daily basis...we gathered to go to the nursing home...I mentioned, matt 25 the passage about doing things for the 'least of these' the poor, the shut in, the elderly, the unnoticed mostly underthanked people who serve the 'least of these'... i asked our team to focus on the staff, to verbalize thanks, to pray and to care...we took special flower vases, with some beautiful flowers...our ladies made some cool displays, we also took balloons, goodie bags for the staff room...and 100 boxes of tissues for the residents...
it was great to see people being cared for, people stepping out of the zone to offer prayer and to look for the lonely...one of our ladies hadn't prayed for anyone and felt drawn to the small frail receptionist so she just went for it and walked over and said 'seeing you here i was just wondering what's been going on with you?'...the receptionist told her story of becoming attached to so many people who either recover or pass away and how hard it was.' my friend asked 'can i pray for you?', the receptionist replied 'yes', as they prayed the receptionist began to weep it was a moving moment...
moments small, yet meaningful carry great care when done with great love...
way to go staff
