Who's Job is More Important?

So tonight at our Post Theater Club rehearsal I had the opportunity to talk about our Mini Buddy project we have going on. This discussion came about for a couple reasons. 1) a couple of us were talking about our jobs, 2) I was working on Mini Buddy's on Saturday during our rehearsal at the theater.

When I mentioned I am a stay at home with a home-based business with my cousin and a couple friends in ID and WI. Well this got them really curious. They were most curious HOW we can work as a team on a home-based business and live in different states. So I told them about Mini Buddy. One person especially Mina, (stage name) as we are all calling her right now wanted to know as much as I could tell her and wanted to know how and why we do this.

Well she totally LOVES this and said she would check out our FB page and afterwards walked away to take her rehearsal spot saying "dang and I only in the HG headquarters office." At this I laughed because I know without her job on base so many things would NOT run smoothly on base either. Funny how she saw our organization and jobs as way more important than her job is.

While our job may be more fun and seem more fulfilling, it made me realize how important even the smallest job can be in this organization. Hopefully our volunteers do not see their jobs as less important just because something they do, or a role they play seems or feels smaller than another persons role.

Every role, every volunteer position we have is important, because these jobs, tasks, do keep Mini Buddy moving smoothly, allowing the needs of each individual family to be met. So while we have thanked our volunteers, as leaders we can never truly thank you all for your efforts enough. Again THANK YOU for all you do!
