mikeandsus

Eduardo and Luz barely speak English. Eduardo can communicate enough to understand the basics, but Luz relies on her native Spanish. I prayed for them this morning. We have been neighbors for more than a decade, and unlike our other neighbors, we have had very little contact with them. (I made one BIG contact with them when I backed into their car a few years ago!) Hopefully, our limited interactions have left a good impression (and despite the impression I made on their car!)

I also wrote out and gave him some suggested destinations since he mentioned he wanted to see the USA before returning home. At the end of dinner I also handed him the French “Four Laws.” I pointed out the Paris address on the back. “This … Continue reading Reaching East and West in One Day

Do I See a Person or a Function?

From Max Lucado’s Facing Your Giants, pages137 -138 “She couldn’t do anything right… “And I started to grumble. Not out loud, but in my thoughts. What’s the matter with service these days? … I boarded the plane feeling cocky… I took my seat knowing the flight was safe, since heaven knows, I’m essential to the work of God. “Then I asked for the soda, the pillow… She blew the assignments, and I growled. Do you see what I was doing? Placing myself higher than the airline attendant. … Her job was to serve, and my job was to be served. … Continue reading Do I See a Person or a Function?
