Thank you, David

I preached at a church in Houston this morning. They did a really cool thing to begin the service. They started off with announcements, getting that done before the service actually begins. While this happened, the choir and worship leaders stepped inside the sanctuary, at the back.

Then the first hymn started and the choir/leaders stepped into the foyer in the back. As the first verse began, we all walked down the middle aisle together, as a sort of processional, signaling the beginning of worship. At the chorus, we all stopped halfway up, sang the chorus, then when the second verse began, and we all walked up on the stage.

That was really cool, I thought.

As I walked into the church this morning, the person waiting for me was there. After we met, we walked into the church to get things ready for the service; and he slyly fixed my suit coat collar. I seem to always have it flipping up. And he, without a word, fixed it for me.

I really appreciated that. Saved me lots of awkward moments and probably some embarrassment when I met the other members of the church later. It was a small thing, done without notice or words.

We have people in our lives who do big, great things for us. Maybe they offer us big-time advice at some point or maybe they make something happen in our lives. But we don't need to forget the Davids in our lives who, in the background, do the small things that make a big difference.
