It's common for people to compartmentalize their faith by separating Sunday church from their behavior the rest of the week.  If you sincerely take care of your clients and their pet "family members," you will show them a compassion that often is missing in medicine.  You don't live your faith only on Sunday morning...you live it every hour of every day, even (and especially) during the tough times.  By following the Golden Rule and thinking of others first, you will have a more successful and a more fulfilling career.
