Minor action men

Last Sunday a bloke came up to me with a small oil bottle to apply on the church's squeaky table legs.

He notices such things.

Every church has a few people who notice such things. Little things. Things which normally don't catch the eye of others.
 
Maybe it is a broken or flickering light.Or that the cushions needs reupholstering.
Or that the tap is dripping in the bathroom.
Or that there's a persistent buzzing sound during the church service.

And, whilst I had noticed the ear piercing screech of the table legs, I would have lived with it.

But there are a rare breed who walk among us.

No matter what it is... These people not only notice these small things, but actually DO SOMETHING about it.

These people are THE BEST.

I wonder why he came up to you, and didn't quietly get on with simply oiling the squeaky legs?

If this guy wasn't busy playing in the band I have no doubt he would have fixed the problem himself... without telling anyone what he was doing.

It's another trait of people who notice the minor things.
