COVID19 - School Closure - Day 157 School Reopens - Day 273
I guess they sensed something was wrong... and I would give them a gold-star... if anything... for trying. No... I'm not holding a grudge or hiding any ill-wills against anyone. Credit them for noticing and taking immediate action. It truly is a blessing that someone would notice and reach out right away. This is beyond any leadership course on Empathy or Emotional Intelligence. But it's just a matter of caring... and I can say... I sit on a different tier and class than most other people.
It turned out to be a venting session for all parties... but in the end.. I have to recognize and acknowledge that my pastor... the ones who are charged with caring for their sheep... reached out to care for me. I will not take that for granted...and I know that this isn't something that everyone else gets. To be open... to be "naked" enough to have a dialogue about things... that's what true leadership is.
I can only imagine how many private conversations Jesus had with his 12. I have zero hesitation that God put me in this church-family to bless me and show me what a community ought to be. And if I need to take this type of caring to my next destination than that will easily be my next step.
