A Family Reunion of Sorts
My wife and I look forward to hosting a family reunion for her extended family every five years. It is one time when the descendants of generations past can gather and celebrate their unity and their diversity. I anxiously anticipate that family reunion, even though it won’t happen until next summer. We look forward to spending time with all the family members who hope to participate in the weekend.
It is good to gather and celebrate the gift of family. I believe it is important to blend the generations of family in times of reunion. It lets the youth know about their roots. It lets the seniors see that the rhythm of life is continuing – because of their hard labors.
Today I am celebrating another type of family reunion, the “family” reunion of our hospital’s caregiving family. It is an important blending of many disciplines, each understanding the gifts they possess and each willing to labor in a unified way to help patients and families experience life in a better way.
Many of us had the weekend off; all of us are back to the work of giving care. I like the family reunion every five years. I really like being able to take time with the family at Hendricks Regional Health, bringing a special level of care that we call, “Treat People Better!”
May Holy Presence be yours this week and may you be surrounded with the energy that helps you be compassionate in your word, thought and deed. May your week be blessed.
