Our Humble Worker Ants

 Never underestimate those quiet, humble people who don't push to be in the forefront because they enjoy doing their part in the background. These are people who you rarely see on the platform speaking through the microphone. They remind me of  the worker ants who keep moving in the colony, doing the work to keep the colony in good functioning mode. There are all kinds of workers in any group, and I sometimes wonder if the "worker ants" are appreciated. God gives us different gifts and strengths and He does all things well. Reflections: Some church workers volunteered to do clothing work today. Two of them came with their canes. One is recovering from knee surgery, so she sat in a chair, put clothes on hangers and folded clothes that others placed on racks and tables. The other worked carefully and effectively at a safe pace, her cane nearby.  Another does therapy for back issues, but works like a champ because she knows when to take "sit down" breaks. We got the work done together. We've all been positively influenced by the church workers who did this work before us and we're blessed that some of those are still with us. The LORD will make a way for those who want to serve.
