Janelle's Job

As I have mentioned in posts past, Janelle is working a few evenings as a tax preparer. As such, she does not represent the IRS or a bank's interest, she is there to serve her clients. It is not her job to question the validity of the client's claims (unless it is totally ridiculous like supporting a family of 5 with only $1,000 in income for the year). She is there to listen to what they tell her, what they have signed and sworn to be true, and to record that information properly for them. She is neither judge nor jury, she is there to help. How often in life do we appoint ourselves as both judge and jury when all we have really been asked to do is listen and to help? I need to work harder at listening. Still struggling.

In Him,

David
