Just a Bagger?
Here's the inspiring story of Johnny, the Grocery Store Bagger.
If This Is Not A Place. . .
If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
My thought for today: May I be like Johnny every day !
ReplyDeleteToday, a very similar human interest story ran in the Columbus Dispatch. A mailman on the north side of Columbus was retiring. He is a man who, 'swiftly completes his appointed rounds - and some unappointed ones too, always walks the extra mile.' Over the years he has even saved some lives.
ReplyDeleteWHY? He truly loved the people on his route. He was a Caring Friend, like Johnny, who did/said things from the Heart. OH! What we all can learn from these two!
