Thank You!

Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, 

forgiving one another, 

just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

Ephesians 4:32

 

We've all seen people getting awards for their service and for the things they do to make the lives of others better.  I am always extremely proud when someone I know is recognized for their hard work.  But they aren't the only people who deserve recognition.

 

I hope you will permit me a moment of pride.  I would like to draw your attention to the Corps of Chaplains who work with First Responders.  This group prays for and with First Responders who deal with and face humanity at its worst.  These dedicated Chaplains go to the scenes to help the Responders and sometimes the families of the victims.  Let me tell you a truth, sometimes it wears on you.  

 

I love my job!  I truly do love the people I get to work with in the Chaplain Ministry, whether they have heard me say it or not, I'm saying it now: 

 

Thank You!  I Appreciate YOU because God has put you right where you are needed.  Thank you for being that person of comfort for those who need to be comforted.  Thank you for being that person who prays for others whether they know you are praying for them or not.  Thank you for being supportive of the Chaplain Program. Thank you for being supportive and encouraging to each other.  Thank You! 

Appreciating others is a form of love and caring.  Let's be more Appreciative of Each Other thus expressing the love that God has shown to all of us!
