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! In recent weeks our nation has had to face the devastation that comes from natural disasters. It is not pleasant. Over the years I’ve participated in relief efforts brought on by both hurricanes and earthquakes. New occasions teach new duties and with these recent disasters will come new opportunities and new challenges.
It is truly a privilege to live in a country where people rally in support of others overwhelmed by the unexpected. The opportunities to reach out come to us in many ways. I encourage you to continually demonstrate compassionate spirits even in these increasingly difficult economic times.
Not all that long ago I attended a chaplain’s meeting of Directors of Pastoral Care from across the state. Two chaplains asked me specific questions about the spirit of generosity that exists at HRH. Wow! Reaching out to others is so important and I give thanks for the ways we continue to demonstrate what it means to TREAT PEOPLE BETTER.
