1 Peter 4:9-11

These verses have really been ringing true for me in life but also in my job and service as a nurse...

"Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in it's  various forms...if anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ"

I know a lot of times when a call light goes off it takes me away from whatever I was doing and I definitely have an internal (and external) sigh of frustration...but I need to remember, they are usually helpless in there and can't help but ask for help in their time of need.  (now of course, there are other situations where you need to lay down boundaries and explain there are some things they can do themselves but overall, they do really need your help and aren't trying to be a "bother")

I also like how because I am using my gift God has given me i am an active and tangible part of God's grace, to me, that is a cool idea. 

When I am at work and feeling a bad attitude coming on, I remind myself of these verses and the true purpose which is so do all this so that God may be praised.
