I got home tense and snappy today.
I don’t want to say where I spent the day, but it was with a national organisation which is normally excellent in the way it works.
Today I found myself frustrated with starting late, finishing 90 minutes early, poor presentations and people not showing.
At one point I swear I came close to losing the will to live!

Lunch was good as was the networking opportunity over lunch where I met 3 new people.
I feel like I have wasted a large part of the day and that frustrates me as I can think of the many things I could have got done at home in the office if I had spent the 8 hours here rather than travel into London.
So tonight this photo from Getty Images resonates!

What can I take away from this?
It reinforces what I have been thinking about over Lent.
It reinforces the need to treat all with respect and dignity and to treat all tasks, even the really boring and mundane, as part of my worship to God.
It is easy to see people as just part of the job, or even a hindrance to the job!
To treat with dignity and look for God within each individual human ‘image of God’ should protect us from doing this.
