Serve?

So guess who started training to serve at Ruby Tuesday? Yup, you guessed it. Its been interesting - both of my training days have not gone as planned, but thats another story for another day.

Serve.
I always thought of the word as a "Christianese" word, but now working in a restaurant kind of puts a new spin on it. That is what I will now be paid to do - serve others. Interesting thought. Even more interesting is that a lot of the people I work with may be servers in title, but the attitude says otherwise. (Sorry if anyone from work is reading this, I'm just being honest). Which got me thinking - I guess this is why we pray for "servant's hearts." To do the action along with having the attitude behind it.

What I'm really hoping is not going to happen is that serving at Ruby Tuesday will not just become something that I'm paid to do 5+ nights per week...that it would be attitude that I take on daily. Not just with customers, but with co-workers, family (that one is probably hardest...), roommates, friends. Not begrudging anything to anyone, but being willing to not look only to my own interests but also to the interests of others....having the same mind as that of the Lord, who made himself a servant....

Anyways, just thoughts.
