Servant

When Jesus had washed their feet and put on His robe, He reclined again and said to them, “Do you know what I have done for you? You call Me Teacher and Lord. This is well said, for I am. So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example that you also should do just as I have done for you. “I assure you: A slave is not greater than his master, and a messenger is not greater than the one who sent him. If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them. (John 13:12-17 HCSB)

The closest example of a servant, I can think of, in our modern day society is a waiter/waitress. One of the better waitresses I have had in a while is at a restaurant in Sikeston. I frequent the establishment about twice a month but,
1) she calls me by name
2) she knows I want a mountain dew
3) she is always comes by the table at the right time with a smile ready to
serve
We can learn a lot from the waiters/waitresses in our lives. Good and bad habits. Jesus has called us to be servants. What tips can you take from a recent restaurant visit that could improve your servant hood to fellow man?
