FW: Little Alex

ONE SUNDAY MORNING, THE PASTOR NOTICED LITTLE ALEX STANDING IN THE FOYER OF THE CHURCH STARING UP AT A LARGE PLAQUE. IT WAS COVERED WITH NAMES AND SMALL AMERICAN FLAGS MOUNTED ON EITHER SIDE OF IT. THE SIX-YEAR OLD HAD BEEN STARING AT THE PLAQUE FOR SOME TIME, SO THE PASTOR WALKED UP, STOOD BESIDE THE LITTLE BOY, AND SAID QUIETLY, ‘GOOD MORNING ALEX.’

‘GOOD MORNING PASTOR,’ HE REPLIED, STILL FOCUSED ON THE PLAQUE… ‘PASTOR, WHAT IS THIS? ‘

THE PASTOR SAID, ‘WELL SON, IT’S A MEMORIAL TO ALL THE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN WHO DIED IN THE SERVICE.’

SOBERLY, THEY JUST STOOD TOGETHER, STARING AT THE LARGE PLAQUE.

FINALLY, LITTLE ALEX’S VOICE, BARELY AUDIBLE AND TREMBLING WITH FEAR ASKED,

‘WHICH SERVICE, THE 8:30 OR THE 10:00?’

FW: Service Please…

At one time in my life, I thought I had a handle on the meaning of the word “service.”

“It’s the act of doing things for other people.”

Then I heard these terms which reference the word SERVICE:

  • Banking Service
  • Internal Revenue Service
  • Postal Service
  • Telephone Civil Service
  • City & County Public Service
  • Customer Service
  • Computer Support Service

Then I became confused about the word ” service.” This is not what I thought “service” meant.

So today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to “service” a few of his cows. BAM! It all came into perspective. Now I understand what all those “service” agencies are doing to us.

I hope you now are as enlightened as I am.
