· Mark 10:13–16
Interruptions can be inconvenient and still bring a real person into view. We cannot meet every request immediately, but we can respond with dignity. Offer attention when possible, or name a realistic time when you can return.
A question to sit with
How do I respond when someone needs me?
One small step
Replace a dismissive reply with a clear, kind answer.
Pray
Jesus, help me recognise the person within the interruption. Amen.
