Playing the Lesser Part ...in humility consider others better than yourselves... Philippians 2:3 NIV Frances Green was an elderly lady living on a pension. Every year she sent a dollar to the Republican National Convention. One day she received an invitation to meet President Reagan. Not realising the RSVP should include a generous donation, she scraped up every cent she had and took a four-day train ride across America. She slept sitting up because she couldnt afford a sleeper. When she arrived at the White House and found her name wasnt on the guest list, she was heartbroken. Overhearing her story, a Ford Motor executive contacted a presidential aide and got clearance to give Frances a tour and introduce her to the president the next day. But the following morning there was a military uprising overseas and the president was in high-level meetings. When Frances showed up at the White House the executive showed her around and walked her past the Oval Office hoping shed at least get a glimpse of the president. As they passed he looked up, stood up from his desk and announced, Frances! Those darn computers fouled up again! If Id known you were coming Id have come out to get you myself! The little woman from California had nothing to give the president that day, but there was something he could give , so he made time in his busy schedule. Paul says, ...humility consider others better than yourselves. In other words, be willing to play second fiddle. Remind yourself that God sees, God evaluates, and God rewards. So, today go out of your way to help somebody. Blessings!
