1 Thess 5:12-14
12Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you. 13Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. 14And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone.well. i started volunteer work on thursday, and i flipped open the bible to this passage, which, i think as a physio, truly gave me insight as to how to conduct myself whilst being supervised. v12-13 is about dealing with colleagues (who are also my supervisors) and then when dealing with patients, v14 is quite applicable:
1. warn those who are idle (ie. get patients out of bed rest. or else muscle atrophy and the like)
2. encourage the timid (ie. fall patients who are scared to start walking again for fear of recurrence)
3. help the weak (ie. the patients who have been bed ridden for a long time)
4. be patient with everyone (ie. patients who are progessing slowly)
hm. hope i can keep this in mind for the next 2 weeks.
