Coming together as a team, let's take a moment to pause (10 secs), and let's begin with a quote from...
Proverbs 18:13 Whoever answers before listening, theirs is folly and shame.
and from
Henry David Thoreau The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when someone asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer.
These quotes show the value of Hope . Hope is a great way to live Dignity, making it real in our lives today! So, as we reflect today, let's refresh our memories on the meaning of Dignity, and take a closer look at how Hope brings it to life.
Dignity
Dignity means, Respect for the worth of every person, recognition and commitment to the value of diverse individuals and perspectives, and special concerns for the poor and underserved.
We know there are many ways to live with Stewardship; so let's focus on just one, Emotional Connection.
Emotional connection
A person feels they are seen, heard, and accepted
So, let's ask ourselves this question...
Do I strive to know the person I serve?
I'd like to invite us all to make Emotional connection a reality in our lives today by...
Asking others to tell you about their story.
Emotional connection isn't new to CHRISTUS Health, in fact, we see this same type of Dignity in our heritage...
At Christus Southwest Louisiana, an associate is a wonderful example of giving our patients genuine care and empathy. She greets each person with a beautiful smile, listens to their stories and offers loving and kind feedback. One of our beloved patients even brought her a birthday gift after visiting a place they once spoke about together.
Holy Spirit, Help me know a little more about the person I am with by listening to their story. I know you have lived that story with them and each one is sacred. I choose to accept each person as they are and care for them with love. Amen.
