As I swam one day…the “spirit” from on High came to visit!!!

I hold this thought anytime I am called to collaborate with others, whether in work, social, or family settings: I see everyone as worthy of my respect, even if we have differing views or opinions. I look for common ground, for ideas that we can share and ways that we can work together. I am open-minded and nonresistant. I am a good listener who values all opinions and ideas. If I sense resistance, I stop for a God moment in which I close my eyes, breathe deeply, and focus on common ground. I pray for understanding and compassion and see myself as an advocate and moderator, working with others in peace and harmony.

“For we are God’s servants, working together; you are God’s field, God’s building”.—1 Corinthians 3:9
