What happens when Super heroes come together?

         When super heroes come together it’s not like when Doctors, or Lawyers or construction workers come together.  When these folks gather, it usually pertains to the upward /forward movement of a plan for a company or a certain goal. 

When Super Heroes gather we look around and say, “Oh boy, what is happening now?”  If you watch the movies, Super Heroes come together usually to solve a major problem that will affect the lives of people and devastate the world at large.   Just think, Superman can take care of the villains who want to accomplish an evil goal on the town or city or community.  But when Superman gets Batman and Wonder Woman together…. That means he needs help.

           When the super heroes get together, people’s lives are on the line and they are there to attack a huge problem in the world.

        It is important to recognize the real super heroes in our day.   Persons who deliver ‘life-on-life’ care.  You may have read my blog to see me use this term in the past.  I have a whole Theory on this idea of ‘life-on-life’ care. 

         Super heroes are people who give their special talents to support the lives of people whom they don’t even know.  They understand their responsibility to the populous for the greater good of all.  Mind you, a super hero is not just a person with those special abilities but someone who actually uses the powers he/she has to keep someone safe, comfort the soul of a hurting person or even stand in the way of oncoming agony or death. 

        The huge thing about the super hero is that they have to cope with the fact that they are different than other people.  They are just not the same.  They may look like others.  They may have human qualities but somehow they come to the conclusion that they are just different.  They cannot just pass by a huge problem and keep walking.  Remember when Peter Parker came to cope with this problem in one of the Spiderman movies?  He thought that he could just ignore the issues of life and just be a natural college student.  But that just did not work….

        

        As people who deliver Life-On-Life Care, you are a vehicle of hope for someone who needs sure support in real ways.  Somehow and for some reason God has chosen you to be affected by the maladies of life that touches another person.  And you cannot keep silent nor sit wanting to fulfill this task in life.

      Care givers are super heroes because it takes special inner skills to physically care for another person. 

       Your special abilities are so you can help people have a normal or close to normal life.  And they really appreciate that.  But you are not impervious to the human suffering that you address.   If you know much about the supers, you know that each of them has a vice.  Something, someone or some issue that, if it comes up or is brought into the area around the superhero, will stop him/her from using her powers for the good of others.  You are like this too….

       So, what is your Kryptonite?  What issue can stop you from performing your task of care giving?  Only you know but there are other supers who can help you to get beyond the problem of your vice so that you can get on to doing good with your special task in life.  We will continue this after you consider this important task of reflection.
