I have a pretty great job. I love helping people and the opportunity to make a different in peoples lives through my work. I have always loved working in Social Services and helping people.
Sometimes when your feeling like you are no body special or that how can I alone make a difference... when you least expect it there comes a simple yet profound moment to remind you of the light you are in someones life by a simple act of kindness or by simply a smile.
Its 3 a.m. right now and I am working a night shift like always. I really do enjoy my work, the people I work with, my friends at work and especially the joy I have in the experience of helping new mothers with their newborns.
The veil between heaven and earth is very thin in these precious moments when these babies leave their heavenly homes to their earthly homes it is a humble and magical moment I have felt the spirit so many times and am constantly reminded of a greater power among us of a loving Heavenly Father and his eternal plan it is amazing...
Anyway tonight I had a special thing happen to me that meant a lot to me.. I got a new patient at 2 a.m. and While helping her get settled in and help her do something as use the restroom and get cleaned up she and her husband told me... We really just want to thank you so very much for the kindness that you have shown us.. you have been the only Nurse we have had that has treated us with such kindness, compassion and care. If only more people could be like you. You have no idea how much this kindness has meant to us.
This really touched my heart and I was honored to know that in some small way I could bring some sunshine into their lives in some way. We show our hearts and our countenances through the way we treat others. I know I am not perfect but it is important to me to try and do the best I can to help others alongtheir way the best that I can. I am really thankful for these simple yet wonderful moments that allow you to scatter sunshine!!
