Many a humble soul will be amazed to find...

...that the seed it sowed… in the dust of daily life, has blossomed into immortal flowers under the eye of the Lord. Harriet Beecher Stowe

“Praise the LORD, all you servants of the LORD who minister by night…” Ps.134.1 NIV

Consider those people who wait upon others at night. There are those humble souls who stack shelves with groceries while we sleep. Some patrol our streets that we may rest safely. Think of the young pregnant waitress who was up before dawn fixing a bacon and egg biscuit, working weekends or Sundays to assist our recreation and rest. There are those serving in hospitals, nursing homes, or sitting with the elderly, countless unassuming souls willing to work when no one else will. They wait upon us, tend to our needs, or just make life in this place more convenient. Praise the Lord for precious souls who minister at night. 8/3/2009 Conversations Within ts
