(D.C. – USA) Lately, I have been given additional job responsibilities at work. I tend to get behind with paper work so I try catching up by working on it in between my other responsibilities. One morning I had the perfect chance to do it and I immediately plunged into it.
Prior to that day my co-worker mentioned to me that she was not able to print the test results the way the doctor prefers. I told her I would help when I had the chance.
I was engrossed with my work when she reminded me of her printing problem. I had completely forgot about it. I was so immersed that I didn’t want to be disturbed. I got irritated when she said “Are you going to help?” I dragged myself to see what I could do to help her. I told her I don’t remember printing the kind of pattern she wants. So I told her bluntly that she could figure it out herself. I didn’t want to be bothered any more so I could finish my own work. As I continued to catch up with my work something inside of me told me “she is my neighbor who needs help at that moment.”
I didn’t know how to make the pattern the way our boss wanted it, but I found myself in front of the problem machine. I tried and tried and after a while the correct pattern printed out. My co-worker was pleased and reciprocated my action by letting the doctor know to whom the credit is due.
I was not able to catch up with my work that day, however I was able to catch up again with what I was lacking – to be the first to accept God in my neighbor.
