Being the Body.

A couple of weeks ago I sat at Panera Bread listening to Jack Johnson with Kayla. We'd eaten and were working on projects for school. We were there probably about 2 hours, I watched people come in and out eat and leave. A man who is a minister in Greenville came in with his wife and ate. Quietly and peaceful, no problems. Right as they were leaving the wife knocked over a metal tray making a lot of noise and spilling food all over the floor. Panera is a bust your own table type of place...they left it everything. All the food on the floor and the food on the table. It made me rather angry to see someone that is part of the body of Christ act so...unChristlike. They as a part of society follow the rules, the guidelines...when a place says bust your own table that's what you do. But amazingly as Christians instead of making sure it was spotless before they left neither bothered to even attempt to clean. We've become so focused on the rules we forget about our duty. Our calling by our savior to show the world in endless measure that we love them for who they are. And one way is to follow the guidelines of society, to show we care.
