I wasn't able to post yesterday because Typepad was having a little glitch...
but, trust me, I was thankful...
thankful for my husband being able to put air in my tire...
the one with the nail in it...
just enough air to get me to Les Schwab who fixed my poor leaky tire!
What's amazing is that they not only will fix your flat even if you did not
buy your tire from them but that they do it with a smile!
Don't you just LOVE service with a SMILE? I know I do!
So yesterday I was thankful for the service and the smile I got
from Les Schwab and from Blue Castle Coffee where I visited with
my friend Jean while my tire was being fixed!
And, of course, it made me think!
Whether we serve the public in our jobs or not,
we've all been called to a lifestyle of service...
it is our full-time job... 24-7!
And our boss... well... He's God!
And when we serve others... we are really serving Christ...
whether it's serving a meal, offering help to the needy,
yielding in traffic, or taking time with your kids.
And I'm guessing He's counting us serving with a smile.
"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth,
whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine,
you did for me.'
Matthew 25:40
Heavenly Father... thank You for all the people who serve the public
through their jobs. Sometimes we can take them for granted
and not even show them how much we appreciate their
service. Help us to be more mindful and appreciative Lord.
Remind us to smile at them and say "thank you."
And Lord help us as we serve You to do it with a happy heart,
not begrudging the opportunities to do good,
but to serve with all our hearts as unto You.
And Lord, most of all, we thank You that You came, not to
be served, but to serve... and You are our greatest example of all!
