Today I saw once again the importance of team work.  I was having a treatment for my cancer today.  As usual, the treatment room was pretty full. As I was sitting there trying to make sense of where I am in the battle I’m fighting, I noticed one of my nurses Joann, Jo for short trying her best to communicate with a couple on the other side of the room.  It was an elderly couple who could speak no english.  She was trying to remember her high school French to no avail.  The older couple was from haiti and could only speak creole.  Finally Jo understood that the man was feeling sick.  They got him to the bathroom just in time.  Then I saw it.  Jo was not alone.  The other nurses all sprang into action helping Jo in this situation.  It’s a beautiful thing when we all use our gifts to help others.  There were things that Jo needed help with and others pitched in and did, and there were things that only Jo could do and she did her part.  It was so neat to see this.  I love it all the more when I see it in the church.  When we use our gifts together to minister to each other and to a hurting world.  Don’t sit on your gift…let God use you and the gift that he gave you.  If you don’t know how…just ask
