May he judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice. Psalm 72:2
Behind everything we do at Liberty is a feeling of ethics and morality, right and wrong, compassion and caring, whether it is in the board room, in a resident’s room, at our senior communities, or in the living room of a patient’s home. That philosophy permeates our employees and our being. It’s not taught, it’s just felt by our staff and, hopefully, by everyone they serve; and it’s genuine. I listen to staff describing an event or process, an activity or projection, or read a letter from a loved one’s family, and I know how deep this is within Liberty.
Do we do this because we want to be judged? It’s because it is the righteous thing to do. Our job at every level is to support that effort, those actions, those people, as best as we can with thoughts, actions and deeds in as many ways as we can consistent with the talents embodied in each of us individually. Some provide compassionate care, some provide organizational direction, and others provide financial support, all coming together to make Liberty a special organization.
Dear Lord, guide us every day in what we do, and how we do it in support of those we serve. Amen.
