Yummy Baked Potato

 

Marleen got a new bag of potatoes for baking.  Yummy!  I suppose that baked potatoes are just about my favorite food.  She had several large potatoes in her bin, but we had used them up.  So, we got a new bag of potatoes from Publix.  Publix had baking potatoes by the pound, but the 5-pound bag was much cheaper.  Some of the potatoes in the bag were as big as the by-the-pound ones, but most were much smaller.  We thought, “We’ll use the bigger ones for baking and use the smaller ones for mashed potatoes.”  And mashed potatoes with butter, cream, and sea salt are just as tasty as baked potatoes.  Hey, in life, there are important people who are seen by everyone, and there are smaller behind-the-scenes folk who are just as important.  How could we manage without the stocker at Publix putting out those potatoes?!  How could Publix manage without the truck driver delivering those luscious potatoes?!  How could the potato farmer manage without the tractor driver plowing up his potato field?!  Proverbs 22:2, “The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all."  Everyone is important in God’s economy, and so are you!  So … whether your job is great or whether your job is small, do it well today.  Remember, the dear Lord is watching.
