Coming together as a team, let's take a moment to pause (10 secs), and let's begin with a quote from...
Sirach 6: 14-16- "Faithful friends are a sturdy shelter; whoever finds one finds a treasure. Faithful friends are beyond price, no amount can balance their worth. Faithful friends are life-saving medicine; those who fear God will find them."
And from...
Jim Rohn - "One of the greatest gifts you can give anyone is the gift of your attention."
These quotes show the value of Being Mindful. Being Mindful is a great way to live Integrity, making it real in our lives today! So, as we reflect today, let's refresh our memories on the meaning of Integrity, and take a closer look at how Being Mindful brings it to life.
Integrity
Integrity means, Honesty, justice, and consistency in all relationships.
We know there are many ways to live Integrity; so let's focus on just one, Being Mindful.
Being Mindful
Being Mindful means, Living in the present moment.
So, let's ask ourselves this question...
Am I willing to invest in a relationship by focusing on just the person in front of me? Pause 20sec before moving on.
I'd like to invite us all to make Being Mindful a reality in our lives today by....
Setting aside everything and be fully present to a coworker.
Being Mindful isn't new to CHRISTUS Health, in fact, we see this same type of Integrity in our heritage...
Did you know that a Front Desk Operator from CHRISTUS Santa Rosa, is known for always showing presence and accompaniment to our patients, their families, and to his fellow associates? He is a true "face of Christus" as people enter our building. He was also recently trained to be a "No One Dies Alone" volunteer, to sit with patients who are dying if they don't have family or friends to accompany them.
Jesus, we are called to share our mission together and find support from each other. Give us the patience to slow down from the hectic pace we experience and take a moment to deepen a friendship with someone. A friendship which honors you and encourages us in our mission will become a treasure for life. Amen.
