“I’m a secretary,” a friend told me. “When I tell people this, they sometimes look at me with a certain pity. But when they find out who I am secretary for, they open their eyes with admiration!” In other words, society often defines some jobs as less important than others, unless those jobs happen to relate in some way to rich or famous people. Let us work with a smile today, remembering that no matter what we are doing, whether answering a phone or driving a car or doing housework or running a business. We are serving God.

Lord Jesus, I want to serve You in everything I do. Help me, as I begin each day, to remember this.
