I would rather wait for the good nurse than to take my chances with the so-so nurse.

Whatever your thing is…do it to the best of your ability or find another thing!

A gentle reminder that doing our everyday work well can truly matter. Small moments of care and skill can make a big difference in someone’s day.

I’m reading this as I prep for a series of medical tests tomorrow. I have very fine veins and it’s always a challenge to draw blood. Grateful for the good medical staff who work my arm patiently, instead of jabbing in different places.
Your post is such encouragement to do what we do well.

My dad was telling our granddaughter that she will be a smart nurse but that she would also make a smart doctor. We need smart nurses just as much as smart doctors, she told my dad. I think we need smart people in every job.

wonderful illustration! I have been holding the question: what is mine to do? Using it to discern how God is calling me forward. Your story adds to this question and gives it deeper roots. Thanks. Happy New Year!!

Yes, it’s such an important aspect of life Lisa, when we have a job ‘do it to the best of our ability’ as there are people that are impacted negatively if we don’t.
Visiting from Stephanie’s linky today.

This is so beautiful, Lisa! I think this is why each of us is so important–we do all have several talents, as you mentioned, and we each have DIFFERENT ones. I would be terrible at drawing blood, but I need someone who is good at it. We need listeners and doers, planners and by-the-seat-of-your-pants-ers. 🙂 So, yes: Be good at YOUR thing. Thanks for the inspiration. Visiting from the Crazy Little Lovebirds linkup.

Danny and I both know the importance of having that good nurse who draws blood flawlessly and painlessly, Lisa. I do hope this young boy came away with an entirely new perspective on what it means to have someone competent to draw blood and not be fearful anymore. Yes, may we all be the best at what we do. Blessings!
