Just A....

A job title allows us the chance to say I am....you fill in the blanks, however so many of us say we are just...as if our job does not have any worth. I know of a cashier and a person who bags and cleans a store that to the world's eyes are just...in jobs of not much worth and of two young people who are just babysitters but are they? Let's look at the cashier, she entered the position after years of being a stay at home mother, no one would hire her other than a grocery store. Frightened by the thought of facing a world she did not know she put one foot in front of the other knowing that as a single mother she needed the money to survive. No degree, no experience just a drive to make sure food was on the table. As time went on things changed relationships with customers were made, old people and children gathered at her line as she joked smiled, sang Birthday songs and even prayed with them. Others came to her line looking down and the weight of the world on their shoulders a hand reached out in a time of need a prayer said and a simple caring smile made their day a little lighter and her life a little sweeter. Although no one saw it on management level her words were simple I pray with those people because I am answerable to God and God alone. To many just a cashier but to God oh so much more. A man bagging groceries sweeping the floors, to some just a person in a grocery store, but I say no. This man sings with a heart for God, continues to smile when his world is falling apart, when he has not much money, in rain and shine he carries out people's groceries not complaining but just thankful for his job. Thankful to share Christ with others. Management never see how much this man gives and no raise is given. But I say in God's eyes he serves a great God who sees his tears and hears his voice none are in vain. Two young people just babysitters to many watching kids and picking up toys. To many just a babysitter, until you see the smiles on those children's faces and you hear how thankful they are that these two young people care about them. Just a babysitter...no not just a babysitter two young people making up school work in the week and making sure that God gets all the praise. These are just four people what is your Just A story....I can tell you many. When you go out just look around none of us are Just A, we all wonderfully made into God's image and we are all and everything in Him. Don't believe the lies and don't let anyone tell you that you are Just A...because this is what you are A child of the living God who loves and adores you and you are someone to Him.
