I can remember playing a basketball game in High School. There was an errant pass that flew into the stands and hit a girl holding a huge cup of soda. The soda exploded by the impact and flew not only all over the girl, the stands, and other spectators. It also came flying onto the court! The game stopped and everyone froze to see if the girl was OK. She was, but the question then was who was going to clean up the gym floor? What seemed like only a split second, my coach ran over to the gym closet, got out a mop, cleaned the floor, dried it, and were playing again! Over the loud speaker in front of 600 to 800 fans the announcer said, “no job to small for coach DeBoer.”
I still think about that line from time to time. I wonder if leaders ever think to themselves, this job is to small for me?
Matthew 25:40
“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.’
As people who follow Christ, we must remember that we are called to serve, even if it seems “below our pay grade”.
If you are in any leadership role or a person trying to be more like Jesus ask yourself daily, whom have I served today? If its only yourself, you might want to change your plans for the day.
Nice! Much appreciation for all the work behind the scenes.
That was a great though and encouagement to realize the little things we do are sometimes just as impotant as the big flashy things others may see
