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?
ReplyDeleteIf 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.
ReplyDeleteIt's another trait of people who notice the minor things.
