Daily Devotion - Thursday, September 30

Reaching Out to Others

“For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith,
I have not stopped giving thanks for you,
remembering you in my prayers.”

--A follower (Ephesians 1:15)

What a privilege to work side by side with people who care! Our nation has had to face the devastation that comes from natural disasters. It is not pleasant. Now more than ever, it seems the news overwhelms us with the fragile nature of life. New occasions teach new duties and with new disasters will come new opportunities and new challenges.

It is a true privilege to work with caregiving people here at the hospital. Time and time again we respond above and beyond what others expect. Regularly we are given opportunities to share (United Way, Food Banks, etc). Thank you for demonstrating your compassionate spirits of faith.

Recently I was with some other chaplains who asked me specific questions about the spirit of generosity that exists at my hospital. Wow! Reaching out to others is so important and I give thanks for the way you share from your heart.

Thank you. I give thanks for you daily.
