A few days ago, two sets of missionaries came into Red Robin for lunch. I was hosting that day so I got to greet them and show them to their table. About 10 minutes after seating them, I seated a party of 10 people right next to them. When the missionaries had recieved their food, a woman who was from the party of 10 came up to me and asked if she could take their bill and pay for it. I was just so shocked and so happy that someone would do something like that for them, especially since a tab for just one person could easily be $15 before tips and not including a dessert.
On Monday, one of my close friends came home from spending four months in China to teach english to younger children. While she's been gone, I've be stalking her facebook pictures and her blog like you wouldn't believe. She took four months of her life to spend it in a foreign country, with food she prolly wouldn't even like, with the possibility of having to work with people the she didn't like, learn a new language that makes my head go !@#$%^ -_-........ and she did it all and made it look like a breeze!
Alix and I welcoming home Miss Desiree
So what do these two stories have in common (besides missionary work)? They were in the service of the Lord by serving and helping His children. Neither Desiree(my friend) nor the woman from that party knew the children in China/the four missionaries, yet they went our of their way to take care of them, loved them, and treated them as if they had known them their whole lives.
The love of the Lord and Savior empowers us all whether we recognize it or not.

Just kidding <3
I'm just grateful for the service of others :)
