THOUGHTS TO PONDER

Can the weakest be the stronger? Have you ever looked at a cinder block supporting a house? Remove one cinder block from under a house and the entire house will begin to fall. When we take away the thing that supports something we have a big problem.
The same is true of people. Many times it is the ones that are looked at as the bottom of the totem pole, the lowest paid, without whom we would be in a big mess. Where would we be without the cleaning crews that come in and clean behind us?
Let’s look at a hospital. First we do need the Doctors, and yes the nurses, we would be lost without them. Where would we be though without the laundry crew. I used to work at a Hotel as a housekeeper. We would not be able to do our job without the lowest paid people doing again that laundry. Let’s look at a restaurant and the dish washer. We might complain when a dish is not clean, but how often do we think of the dish washer. Whatever your job today look around and see who if missing would make a difference?
I attended a church once where the Pastors wife cleaned the toilets. This women had a voice that did not need instruments. I asked her why did she do this. “I am no better then anyone here, it keeps me grounded.” What a beautiful thought.
Today is Friday. As you go to work today look around you at some of the people you take for granted and think what your job would be without them. After you have done that then look at yourself and realize that no matter what your job is , it too is important and without you there would be problems.
No matter what your job you are important, and so is everyone else around.
My thanks to LR for the thoughts that brought this article to mind.
God Bless
