Master of Chaplaincy Studies Lesson 18 12/23/2019 1:30PM
Read through this about three times.
• Print out a copy for your notebook.
• Look at your ministry. What are the stressor points? What is your week like? Develop your spiritual care plan. Write a brief description of it.
• Post your findings on the ULC Discussion Board.
I am disabled through Social Security, so all of my ministry is Volunteer and not paid.
Since my ministry has been mostly volunteer, I have had need to take breaks sometimes as often as after each service I performed for someone. The counselling and case work can often be draining; yet rewarding.
I begin my week by listening to activity on the scanner, or awaiting a call from the hospital or some other agency in need of a Heathen/Pagan Minister. Or just a healer to come.
I have tried to work in such a manner that Mondays are for personal rest and relaxation. Often, I have gone fishing in my canoe just to take a break and enjoy God's gifts.
I do try to spend about an hour every morning and evening in Spiritual Contemplation in my Therapy Room. It is there that I can find contentment with what I have done each day and the grounding necessary for the next service I am to be of.
Occasionally, I consider what it would be like to be a paid Pastor or Chaplain; But I think that would place restrictions upon my abilities as well as restraints upon what I can cover as the minister and healer I think I am. So, I have opted not to seek such a relationship/employment thus far.
