"You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.
" --John Bunyan
Nightshift at the Marriott
An emergency search for a room in a town where all hotels were full brought the author and his jet-lagged wife at midnight to a new Marriot-in-construction, as yet seemingly manned by only one or two staffers. A whole line of room-seekers vied for their attention with customers with unmade beds. In a tense, strained situation, the author begins to admire the young staffers doing their best, and a cosmic shift takes place. From being overworked staff dealing with irate customers, they become companions as they make the bed together. The ending may surprise you.
BE THE CHANGE
Be observant of states of tension and emotional pressure in anyone trying to help you today, and "walk a mile in their shoes." We are all in this world, and this life, together.
