The Care Givers loved it!!
Participants came and enjoyed food, fellowship and their calling in a beautiful and peaceful scene of nature. Everyone that attended was given the opportunity to hear and be heard. Attending to the renewing of souls and replenishing hearts each care giver was supported and engaged in soul refreshing.
The
Green Eggs and Ham Dilemma
I
do not like Green Eggs and Ham, I do not like them Sam I am.”
This is a great children’s book that
emphasizes the fact that some people will not move forward or make certain
decision due to the way they look at the person who brought the information to
them. The main character in the book,
who is not named, had a dislike for Sam, “remember Sam I Am”. At the outset of the story Sam introduces
himself and the main character makes a snap decision on what Sam is
saying. His first statement in the book
is, “I do not like that Sam I am.” So,
at this time, Sam goes straight to his mission, “Do you like Green Eggs and
Ham?” Then they begin to go around and
around.
My
favorite part of the story is, “Would you eat them in a box? Would you eat them with a fox?”
Getting
someone to make a certain decision sometimes depends solely upon who is
bringing the message. Are you having
trouble helping someone make a good decision, family or patient, may be a
professional contact? It may be because
they have a preconceived misjudgment about you.
This points to the very fact that we make many decisions on emotional
not logical basis. Having this thought
in your mind may help you to remember how to adjust your approach or even bring
another member of the team into the mix so that the misjudgment of you will not
hamper the whole deal. We will not be
able to please everyone and your persistence may not win them over like it did
for Sam in the story. As the main
character finally chose to try the Green Eggs and Ham and found that he liked the Green Eggs and Ham.
Monachopsis is the subtle but persistent
feeling that you are out of place.
Sometimes we do feel that we are out of place in this world, as care
givers you may have felt that the rejection of a plan made you feel that
something about you is wrong. This
feeling monachopsis, causes me sometimes to think, “why can everyone else do
this and I can’t?” I may be trying to be
some else but if I step forward to be me and use my own personality and
character makeup, I find that I am more satisfied with how I performed and most
times people will appreciate me being me.
Proverbs
18:16 says, “A gift opens the way for the giver and ushers him into the
presence of the great.”
This
is why sometimes the lonely feeling is valid in this world to our existence
because you are a gift to the world to make something change for the
better. “The gift opens the way for the
giver…” your gifts and talents were sent
here by God in order to change the life of someone else for the better. When you use your gifts and natural talents
to function in life, you might be like Sam I am to someone helping them to make
a choice that looks just like Green Eggs and Ham. But it is just the right choice for
them. As that agent of change in someone’s
world you may be the world to them.
Proverbs
18:16 says, “A gift opens the way for the giver and ushers him into the
presence of the great.”
