"Love Thy Neighbor In The Workplace!"

     I cannot emphasize the importance of loving your neighbor in the workplace.  Your co-workers are a special family and let's face it you probably see your co workers more often than you see your siblings and parents!  That is why it is of the utmost importance that you work well with these indiviuals and you get along with these people!  
      Let's face it, wouldn't life be  a lot better if you and your coworkers worked well together?  Isn't it worth it to show a little love and get a little love back?  "Love in, love out!" That same love will most likely be returned to you when you love your neighbor in the workplace!"

"Don't Let Anyone Steal Your Joy!"

     Many years ago I worked with a nurse who was not easy to work with.  She basically told me that she did not like me because I was "too happy!"  She would often try to engage me in arguments and I would not allow her to do so by either ignoring her hurtful words or leaving the room.  I prayed a lot for this woman and I prayed to God for guidance in dealing with this person, and God sent me the answer through one of His most beautiful vessels, a prayer warrior friend.  My friend told me simply, "Do not allow this person to steal your  joy!"  A simple message that meant the world to me.  I decided to avoid this person and I decided that I would not be drug down to her level.  Someone had to take the "high road" and it may as well be me!
    Is there someone on your job who is getting on your last baby nerve...then take the high road and don't let them steal your joy!!!!

"Help Others In the Workplace!"

      Do you help other people in the workplace?  If you do not you should!  It is so very important to help others when you are working on your job because one day you will need help also!   The other reasons you should help others is because it feels great to help others and you should always treat people the way you want to be treated! 
      It is so very unfair to watch your friends flailing, sinking, drowning (you choose the word) and you do nothing to help them!  Your friends have memories like elephants and remember they will return the favor!  Instead of making them angry about your lack of assistance, make them happier when you help them!  Everyone wins when you help others and it is a win-win situation!!!

"It's Not About You!"

     Do you think that your present job situation is about you?  Guess again, it is not about you!!! Let's face it most of what we do and how we live, work and play are not about us!  It is truly about our living loving Father and the sooner we get this in our thick heads the better off  we will be!  
     We are here for God's glorification!  We are nothing without God and He has given us all that we have and He asks for so little in return!  So the least that we can do is to go to work and try to reflect back the light that God continuously shines back on us!!!! 
     You may  inquire, "How do we do this?"  Let me tell you a straight and narrow path is never easy!"  But  we can make the best of a situation by asking ,"What would Jesus do?"  After we answer this question we are well on our way to reflecting His light on people who are in so much darkness that need your light to help find their way to Him.  
       Even though it is not about you,  you can be the instrument of peace that He uses to minister to people at your job!  Be God's instrument today...It is the least that you can do!

Pray for Your Co-Workers!"

     It is very important that you pray for your co-workers!!!  Prayer moves mountains!  Prayer changes things and people!  Pray for the people who really give you a tough time at work.  Pray for peace in their lives so that they give you a little peace in your life!
     When you pray feel the prayer!  Don't pray because I said so, "Pray because you really want to help your "friend-enemies!"  and there is no better way to help them to pray for them!!!
      So here is my challenge, pray for you dear friends and your enemies too and then sit back, relax and watch the fireworks!!!  Of course, as we know God puts on the best light show ever!!!

"A Divine Appointment!"

     You may not believe this but the time you spend at work is truly a divine appointment!  Yes you could have been any where in the universe but God chose to place you at your job in these moments in time!  The time that you spend at work is not a mistake!  It is truly meant to be.  Therefore, you should be enjoying yourself at work!  Work is not an error, or a mistake.  This was meant to be.  So go with the flow, "work with me people!" Make the best of your situations!  If you are receiving lemons, then make the greatest lemonade that your co-workers have ever tasted!
    Enjoy the time that you spend at work, but for God's grace and mercy things could be worse, a lot worse!  You could be unemployed!!!

"Smile!"

    Do you know how important it is to smile at work!  Do you know that a smile is contagious and it can brighten up your day and your coworkers' day?  It actually does take less muscles to smile than to frown!
      Let's face it, there is too much pain, suffering, darkness, and sadness in the world!  Do we have bring that into the workplace?  No we do not! Cancel that order for more pain, hatred, suffering, darkness, and sadness in the workplace!!!  Fill the order instead with smiles, lots of smiles, love, light, peace  and joy in the workplace! 
     Remember "smile"  :) and all of your co-workers and the world smiles with you!!!

"To Have Friends, You Must Be A Friend!"

     To have friends in the workplace, the same rules apply, you must be a friend!   Treat other people the way that you want to be treated!  Be kind  to your co-workers.   Show them that you care!  If you see a co-worker sinking fast in an ocean of paperwork,  jump in and save him or her!
They will return the favor!
     Be considerate of other people and give them the opportunity to voice their opinions.  You may be surprised by the creative and ingenious answers that you will receive. 
      Create those friendships in your co-workers that will last a lifetime!  However, you must remember to be a friend!!!  It is truly  a "win-win" situation!
