Sometimes, I act like a Wendy’s Drive Thru Attendant

This past week at church, we got an tiny glimpse of the servitude and love that Jeus had while He was on earth.  Our pastors washed the church’s feet during communion and it proved to be a powerful moment. 

 

Which made me think about serving others. 

I have two favorite fast food places and both are Wendy’s.  One is on Montegomery and I-25 and one is on Central and Monroe.  But I’ve noticed something.  The one on Montegomery is only a good place to go during the night and the one on Central is only good during the day! Both are pretty horrendous at all the other times.  It reminds me of a lot of KJ-52 songs that constantly slam fast food restaurants.  All too often when I go get fast food restaurants, I have experiences like he talks about (Now i’m rolling throught McDonald’s I’m getting a number two. But I know they gonna act rude and mess up my food. Here’s your cheeseburger and plus your coke too. Ha ha thanks a lot but where’s my fries at fool?)

Sometimes, I’m as bad as those Wendy’s during their off times at serving others. Jesus tells us that if we want to be great in the Kingdom of God, we are to be the slaves of all people. 

So daily I have to ask myself, am I proverbially washing everyone’s feet around me? Or am I acting more like a Wendy’s drive-thru worker?
