For the first time, it cost me over $50 to fill my car with gas. For me, $5 per gallon gas is an annoyance, but it's not devastating. 

For many front-line workers, however, $5 a gallon gas, can devastate your employees and their families. Much more than your highest paid people.  

These pain points can impact your team's ability to come to work or to work stress free. As a leader we need to be mindful of the challenges that our team members are facing. 

In John 10:14, Jesus said, "I am the good shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me." 

In times like these, it's important to know your team members and their needs, but also that they know you as a good shepherd.
