A Lowly Heart

Being a servant doesn’t necessarily mean having a lowly position; it means having a lowly heart. My wife and I went to a restaurant where the meanest waitress we had ever met was “serving” us. She waited on us with the attitude, “My name is Grumpy, and I will be your waitress today. If you need something, you are just going to have to wait your turn. So don’t push me!” She was in a servant’s position, but she didn’t have a servant’s heart. (Kent Crockett, Making Today Count for Eternity, Sisters, OR: Multnomah Publishers, 2001, p. 129)
