FReeper Canteen ~ Sunday Chapel ~ THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION ~ 21 October 2012
Serving The Best Troops and Veterans In The World !! | The Canteen Crew

THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION


During my second month of night school, our professor gave a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"

Obviously this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper leaving the last question blank.

Before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count on our quiz grade. "Absolutely," said the professor. "In your lives, in your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care."

I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her first name was Dorothy.

Unknown


One of the biggest pet peeves of my working life...without the "little people" doing their jobs, the folks "upstairs" couldn't function.

Busy day, but a lot of parental things crossed off the list. Thought I was done, but my Dad’s finger stick results were way high and the nurse said avocados, broccoli, and romaine lettuce would help get the # down. So tomorrow is a Costco run.

Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God." -from THE BIBLE: II Corinthians 1:2-4

Oh no....sending prayers that you feel better soon.

Thankfully no allergies in our family, so no experience other than those that do feeling miserable. Hope the bronchitis is cleared up soon.
