A few weeks ago, while heading to an appointment, I encountered a woman whose kindness left a lasting impression on me. She was a crossing guard, and as I approached the street, she stopped oncoming vehicles to help me cross safely. Her warmth was so striking that I felt compelled to strike up a conversation.
To my delight, I learned that she was from St. Thomas. As we chatted, I noticed something remarkable, nearly every passing vehicle honked to greet her. It was as if she knew everyone in the community, and in return, they genuinely appreciated her presence.
What stood out the most wasn’t just her friendly demeanor, but the sheer joy she radiated while performing her duty. A simple job, one that doesn’t require extensive cognitive effort, yet she embraced it with such enthusiasm and care. It made me reflect on the true essence of work, it’s not about what we do, but how we do it and the impact it has on others.
Watching her made me think: joy and kindness can transform even the simplest tasks into something extraordinary. Her smile and warmth were contagious, spreading positivity to everyone she encountered. It even made me consider what it would be like to be a crossing guard myself, just to experience that kind of fulfillment.
This experience served as a powerful reminder: whatever we do, no matter how big or small, we should do it with joy and sincerity. People are watching, and our attitude makes a difference in ways we may never realize.
God bless you.
