My sister recently sent me a 'have-a great-week' care package which included two candles, a great hand lotion and this amazingly hysterical sticky notepad. Would you just take a good look at that woman !?!??! "She was comforted by the knowledge that they were helpless without her" HA!!!!!! With a bit of a sheepish face I'll admit it...sometimes I think this! (maybe that's why she sent it...it's a joke right?....wait...right?)
I was out sick yesterday but guess what. The whole office just kept on running. Nothing really fell apart...hmmm. Maybe I'm not as required 24/7 as I thought. At first I thought, "Man, did they even notice I was gone? Are you telling me I wasn't really needed?" Then I thought, "Wow, how great that a team works so well that when one link is missing for a day or even a month, the whole team pulls together and makes the train keep on barreling down the track". When I'm out of the office because of illness, I usually let that psychosis of guilt keep me from resting...Ohhh, I should be there, I could make it if I really tried...there always the restrooms along the way....but maybe it's okay to just stay in the bed and concentrate on getting better.
There is the need to be needed and then there is that icky pride thing that makes us think no one else can do what we do as well as we do it. I say we all need a good whippin' when that kind of pride sneaks in. I'm probably way more guilty of this than anyone I know but I think God likes watching us grow and become...and in pride of any kind, there is lots of room for growth.
