With this morning's crazed but blessed schedule, as I ran around with my head intact, while others about me were losing theirs, I was there to help them find it, wherever it had rolled, hither and yon....we're still looking for a few of them, but that may a lifetime work...I was reminded of an actual job-description quote as I signed up to work at the VA Medical center a year ago:"Worker must be able to function in chaos!" Hmmmm.....whatever that all meant, ministering to "the poor, wretched, and blind," realizing I was in the same boat with them, it made me think of my family of origin, and, my group work in recovery.
Since the family I grew up in "put the 'fun' in the word dysfunctional" I knew all about living in chaos, but not about functioning in chaos---that has come from my recovery family, thank God! Thank you! It also reminded me of working with college students for six years; it was like "serving lunch on an escalator, or, in the middle of the freeway!" But, many were fed, and I was fed in the process. So, with my head intact, in the middle of my "1st on call shift" today, waiting for my pager to go off, thanks to the sufficient grace freely given through our Higher Power in the midst of our recovery program, I'm amazed to not only survive in chaos, but fucntionaly thrive in the midst of it.
peacethroughrecovery,
