CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The nations supply chain has been severely disrupted due to Covid 19. That hasn’t gone unnoticed by a patient individual like myself. My whole working career was spent in manufacturing so I understand the fine balance that exists in getting inventory levels right and meeting delivery targets. I admit that not all my finest traits have shown through when an item I have ordered takes weeks to receive rather than days I have come to expect. Recently I was taking to Nadine about an item on order for my truck from the company she works for. I placed the order in early March and initially was told that it might take 15 to 20 days to receive. 6 weeks after order date she tells me that it will take another 6 or more weeks to receive. My response surprised Nadine. I had a little bit of a chuckle, told her that I understood that the entire nation is trying to climb out of a disruptive supply situation, and my light hearted response with her told her that I was not upset about it. She stopped me in mid sentence just to tell me how much she appreciated my attitude. Too often she is on the wrong side of a phone conversation from an angry customer. I told her that I was sorry she had to be exposed to that kind of abuse and we ended our phone time with goodwill coming from both sides. Actually, she made my day as she felt I had made hers. Kindness and love isn’t required but it sure makes life more bearable.
The exchange with Nadine reminded me of a verse from 1 Peter 4:8 “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.” Our loving God cared enough for us that He sent His Son, Jesus, and Jesus loved us enough to die for us to cover a whole lot of multitudes of sins. The least we can do while on this earth is recognize this and pass it along in all types of way – even during short phone conversations.
