Today, I made it through a full shift of work! Oh boy, was I tired, but I did it. I'm so grateful to have the type of job I do have. I work in the world of HR/Benefits, mainly leave of absences. Expert in FMLA. With this, comes dealing with medical issues and benefits ... but more importantly, people. In hospice situations, I get involved with their families as well. There are very special memories I have kissing the cheek of someone who is taking their last breathe. I whisper, "save a dance for me in heaven". The special bond with those families is something I will always treasure.
After a month of feeling consumed with my own illness, I was reminded today of why I am where I am. God surely knew where I would be of most value to Him in this world. I am grateful indeed.
Despite the roller coaster, today was a triumphant day as I rested in God's grace.
Congrats on making it through a full shift at work. I’m sure it couldn’t have been easy for you. Never underestimate your value in what you do. I know when I first met you, confused and overwhelmed with FMLA issues, your wisdom in such matters along with your calming and reassuring attitude meant a great deal to me. It still does.
