EMS Week continues

Reflection

“I didn’t become an EMT to get a front-row seat to other people’s tragedies. I did it because I knew the world was bleeding and so was I, and somewhere inside I knew the only way to stop my own bleeding was to learn how to stop someone else’s.” ~Daniel José Older

Prayer

God of Grace,

So many wonderful people answer your call through their work as Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics, helping those who are often in tragic situations.  It is the bravery and skills of these people that allow others the chance to continue to live life more fully, often at great personal sacrifice. We are so grateful for all of those who take part in any of the positions within the Emergency Medical Services field. We ask that you continue to bless the work that they do on a daily basis and that their own health and well-being would be strengthened through their service and provision of the same, to all those most in need. Amen.

Call to Action

If I see an EMT today, I will stop and share my gratitude with them for all they do!
