The Lunch Lady

The "lunch lady" at the school my children go to happens to be a close friend and neighbor. This weekend she told me that she believes God has put her in her job for the sake of the children.That whenever she sees one of the kids from our neighborhood and connects with them she sees them smile and believes this is her purpose in life. To add a light in a child's otherwise dark day.

I think this is true of all of us. We are placed in our jobs by God to shine Christs love to all those with whom we come in contact. Even if our job seems menial and tedious we are there for a reason. We have a higher purpose and are called to our current occupations for the passing of Christs peace. Even if we are in a organization that frowns on religious speech we can still pass the love of God on by our actions.

I've heard it said that people don't always remember what you say but they remember how you made them feel. Today try to make everyone you come in contact with ; coworkers, clients, customers,employers, employees, or whoever it may be, make them feel God's love by how you treat them.
Be Blessed
