Just do you

I was at a pinning ceremony where the speaker was a 15 year nursing veteran.  During his speech he spoke about times when there is nothing more you can do to help a patient and that is when you “just do you.”   In the game of life there is so much I don’t know and little that I know.  I know that…I don’t always have the right answer; sometime I don’t even have an answer.  I know that… I don’t know why things happen or don’t happen.  I know that… I don’t know the mysteries of life or death.  But what I know is this… I can fix you a meal when you have a baby.  I can encourage someone when they are discouraged.  I can lend an ear when you need to talk.  I can hold your hand when you are frightened or lonely and I can give a hug when there are no words that will help. 

When you don't know what else to do- keep your bearings in Christ and just do you.

1 Corinthians 9:19-23 (The Message)
Even though I am free of the demands and expectations of everyone, I have voluntarily become a servant to any and all in order to reach a wide range of people: religious, nonreligious, meticulous moralists, loose-living immoralists, the defeated, the demoralized—whoever. I didn’t take on their way of life. I kept my bearings in Christ—but I entered their world and tried to experience things from their point of view. I’ve become just about every sort of servant there is in my attempts to lead those I meet into a God-saved life. I did all this because of the Message. I didn’t just want to talk about it; I wanted to be in on it!

(Oh- I want to mention is was my sister's pinning and my mom who has been a nurse for many many years pinned her! I'm very proud of both of them.)
