With God All Things are Possible

Amazed, overwhelmed, blessed................the words aren't sufficient.

Yesterday, I was meeting with the boss on some business related matters. She asked if I knew yet, my schedule for the surgery.

I shared with her that pre-op is scheduled for June 21st and that June 20th would be my last day in the office; surgery is Monday, June 25th; I will be in the hospital three to five days and that the the doctor said recovery time is expected to be six to eight weeks. (though she will consider the POSSIBILITY of allowing me to return on a part-time basis after four weeks).

I asked wonderful boss, if she would consider allowing tech support to set up remote access from my home computer to our business, as it would be much easier if I could initially work from home. WB agreed.

I suggested to her that it was time to make an official announcement to staff and director's (they will probably notice that I'm gone for two months). WB then inquired as to how much sick/vacation time I have available. I told her that I probably had less than 40 hours remaining, as I have been using time for doctor appointments up to three times a week since January.

I started crying when WB told me that she would send out an Email to staff offering them the opportunity to donate sick or vacation time. We would discuss the balance at a later date.

Due to another dentist appointment, I didn't get to the office til almost 9:30 this morning. First order of business is to check my Emails, schedule and phone messages. There was the Email to staff, the next was a reply from K, asking to donate a week. At about 9:35 WB informed me that within 20 minutes of sending the Email, three weeks had been donated. At 1:10 she informed me that I now have 8 weeks of donated sick time. 5 minutes later, I was meeting with our CFO. A staff member rushed in stating that he had been in meetings all morning and hadn't had time to reply to the request. "Could I still donate a week, and you can give some time back to the others?" CFO smiled at me.......... "see? everybody wants to be in on this". The generosity is overwhelming.

So often in my life, God has shown up wearing "people clothes".
All praise to Father, Son and Spirit. Amen.
