Barb & I went out to eat the other night & found our hostess to be a bit rattled. Inquiring about her wellbeing we learned that a customer had gone postal on her for a very minor infraction that was easily fixed. Almost all of us have had jobs at one time or another or been members of an organization that served the public. What is there about putting on a uniform or name tag that causes others to forget that we are still human beings underneath our cloak of responsibility?
Sometimes I am working for you & at other times you are working for me. But let us remember that first & foremost we are all working for the Lord. How would He react to a visitor among us, a regular attender or even a member of the staff?
Even if you have an issue with someone else, always remember to lead with love. Troubles come & troubles go but people are meant to be treated with respect & kindness even if they are not acting that way themselves.
