Joan on the Job

Today I shall make good on my promise to tell you about one of the helpful, caring people on my list.  Her name is Joan.

If you know Northridge United Methodist Church, you know Joan.  [This is where I pause to check the church's website to find out just exactly what her job title is, because I know Joan but not her job title].  Joan is the Facilities Manager at NUMC.  I don't know exactly what her job description is, but "Do everything that needs doing to keep everything in the church office and facilities running smoothly" might come close.

I certainly don't appear on Joan's job description.  Nonetheless, Joan helps me.  So much.  All the time.  And I don't even work there.  I volunteer on some committees [oops, we call them teams], and Joan is always glad to assist me with the little details and tasks that need doing.  And every little thing she does makes my life easier.

I am not going to go on and on.  Joan is probably on a lot of people's thank-you lists.  If you know Joan, you probably owe her a thank-you note.  That's how helpful she is.

Thank you, Joan, for every little thing you do.  Thank you, God, for Joan.

Addendum:

I decided this thank you was too vague.  I thought it needed some specific detail for which I am grateful.  I don't want this to be some general Oh, Joan thank you for being you.  So here is my specific thank you.

Joan, thank you for making (that flier for me for that event my team was planning) x 50.  Also, thank you for (helping me find that thing I needed for that activity that was happening) x 100.

And that doesn't nearly cover it all.
