| | Every day I go to work where my job is to help people grow. Grow mentally, spiritually, physically. My job is to encourage, stretch and be and advocate for change in lives. I think the reality is, my clients are helping me grow....mentally, spiritually, and physically. The alcoholic teaches me patience, the Domestic violence victim teaches me compassion, the person suffering from mental illness teaches me that th Lord truly is the ultimate healer.
I sat in my office today as a little boy came running in to show me the sticker he got in school today for listening. He was beaming from ear to ear, he knew I understand how big of an accomplishment this was for him, and he was right, it's huge. I gave him a High-5 and a hug. I also told him that there was a coloring book for him at the end of the week if he continues.
His mom stood in the doorway and tears were welling up in her eyes. I asked her about her tears. "he's needs this program as much as i do, huh?" I smile and stood up and gave her a hug....she's getting it.
It's moments like those....though followed by the chaos of the homeless shelter, are why i wake up each morning and go to work.
It's good to be back
