A Baby's Cry

I can’t think of many, more busy, than a desk adjuster…and a mother.

 

Mom’s in the middle of cleaning—the baby cries. She stops, and feeds the hungry child.

 

Just started laundry—the baby cries. She changes dirty diaper.

 

In the middle of lunch—the baby cries. She comforts the babe, just woke from nap.

 

Never does she utter, “If only I didn’t have this child, I could do my work.”

 

The baby’s cry, is a blessing. It lets us know; they’re in need of something. 

 

If we meet the needs when they’re small, and easy; when they grow older, and complicated, they’ll trust us, and come to us.

 

How many parents would love for their child to come to them, with problems, rather than to a drug dealing stranger?

 

Those irritating calls, are blessings, they tell us, the insured needs us, still trusts us. They haven’t rejected us, run to the carrier; or turned to a drug dealing stranger… a public adjuster, or a  lawyer. 

 

Some days, like Mondays, all we may have time to do is answer the phone, and thoroughly document each call. In so doing, we’ve done our job. The time is an investment, not an expense. It will reap dividends in the end.

 

If there’s a ringtone that sounds like a baby crying, we should use it.
