A Holiday Weekend
Today is the final day of the work week for many of us and it comes with an extra day – Labor Day! In the field of health care, however, it is good to remember that the rhythm of a hospital is 24—7—365!!!! Many of us will spend the weekend renewing ourselves; some will be here at work.
It is important that we do everything that needs to be done today. It is equally important to remember with thanksgiving those who are here this weekend—those who are enabling patients and families to peacefully experience their “present tense” moment.
The Cheyenne Indian had a proverb: “When you lose the rhythm of the drumbeat of God, you are lost from the peace and rhythm of life.” Listen to the drumbeat today, all weekend long, and always!
A prayer: O God, satisfy us with your steadfast love so that we may share your beauty with those who need our caring touch. Amen.
