Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From Sheridan Voysey, Writer and broadcaster:

Sarah is a friend of mine who consults to the NHS on matters of disability. She knows her subject well. Sarah has a rare condition that causes her shoulders and joints to dislocate. With the aid of carers, an electric wheelchair, and a sense of humour, she manages to face each day.

Sarah had a meeting in London recently. Her carer came early to help her shower and dress, then Sarah rode her wheelchair to the bus stop. Experience has taught her to leave early for these meetings. Often a broken ramp or an occupied wheelchair spot means she must wait for a second or third bus to collect her.

Arriving at the train station, Sarah went to the lift鈥攁nd found it was broken. Again. With no way of getting to the platform, she was told to take a taxi to another station forty-minutes away. A taxi was called. A half-hour later it still hadn鈥檛 arrived. Even if it did, she would now miss most of the meeting. Sarah gave up and went home.

While this would be a uniquely bad day for most of us, Sarah estimates that a third of her travel attempts get disrupted like this, through a broken lift or ramps not being there to help her off the train. Sometimes she鈥檚 treated as a nuisance for needing assistance. She鈥檚 often close to tears.

When we think of the 鈥榗aring鈥� professions, most of us probably think of nursing, teaching and social work jobs. I鈥檓 starting to believe this list is too small. In the Christian view of things, humanity鈥檚 great purpose to 鈥榣ove God and love others鈥� is most naturally expressed through our work. That means making sandwiches, mowing lawns, changing tyres or painting walls aren鈥檛 just ways of earning a wage but opportunities to serve. That means fixing lifts and dragging out ramps aren鈥檛 inconsequential tasks but caring professions in themselves.

聽There鈥檚 a guy at St Pancras station who watches out for Sarah, making sure she has a clear path through the ticket gate. Once, while stranded at a station due to yet another broken lift, a staff member arranged to divert Sarah鈥檚 train to another platform so she could get home. That鈥檚 love.

聽Most of us want to live meaningful lives. Here, I believe, is the answer. View our jobs as just a wage and people might soon become annoyances to us. But when we see our jobs as an opportunity to love, the most everyday tasks become holy enterprises.
