Arriving at the office very early, I went to grab a cup of coffee. As I turned the corner, I saw one of the accounting interns was already there. He was filling the copier with paper – its tax time – they use lots of paper. So I asked him, “You do this every day?” He replied matter-of-factly, “Yep, I check every morning. At lunch and in the late afternoon.” “Wow, that’s great.” He didn’t seem to see its greatness.
Grabbing my coffee, I stopped by his cubicle and told him this: “One of the first jobs I had, you know who made sure the coffee was made, the lights were on, and the walks shoveled and parking lots plowed?” He stared waited for the answer. “It was the CFO. I just want you to know you are well on your way to greatness. Keep up to good work.”
Remember, It is when we humble ourselves that we shall be exalted. It was the widow’s mite that gave the most. It was a few fish and loaves that feed the crowd. It was from a kneeling savior that feet were washed for service.
Go out and pour a cup of coffee for the world! Fill someone’s copier…get on the way to GREATNESS.
