This hotel does an okay breakfast. Not great. But edible. If you don’t mind eating, for example, linoleum. The hotel’s flagship dish is a premade omelet that looks and tastes like industrial plastic. The biscuits are hockey pucks. The gravy is not unlike commercial adhesive. And the sausage—I know from experience—will turn your bowels into stone.
Serving others involved 2 actions… seeing the need (looking for the opportunity) and then actually doing something about it. These kids and their mom set a great example for all of us. Open your eyes to a need …. And try to help if you can. Thanks for the reminder.
I was raised in a Baptist Church working on a Mennonite farm. This is where my love for Jesus and my love for man kind was developed. The Schneider family was like my family. Their son Billy was like my brother. There was nothing we didn’t do together, to include driving from Walnut Hill, Fl. to Mobile, Al. in a bean truck to pick up a part for the Dairy at the age of 14. But this was in 1972 and times were different. The life I obtained through these influences gave me the heart of a servant and led me to a career in law enforcement. We remained neighbors and friends with a plan to end my life as I began, retiring and working on the Schneider farm. Everything changed in 1995 when Billy was accidentally killed on the farm. The family moved away and a hole was left in my heart that has yet to be filled. This family you described are a people we could all learn from.
I was very touched by the help of all the women, young and older who so selflessly helped Carolyn. What a better world this would be if we’d all become “helpers” too. They chose to help just like Jesus taught. Thank you for sharing this Sean.
Beautiful story! So thankful for people who are not just willing but eager to help when help is needed. And thankful to you, Sean, for seeing and sharing the good things in life!
With all the stupidity and negativity in the news, this true story absolutely affirms there are so many wonderful people in this world. Way, way more good folks are in this world than bad ones. God’s word teaches us to be servants to others, to put their needs before our own. Those lovely Mennonite people are glowing examples of serving as the hands and feet of Jesus. God bless them, and God bless you Sean for sharing such important stories.
Oh boy what a lovely feel-good story. That 14 year old did an amazing job with her sisters and family. Her closing comment was best I’ve heard. Thanks for sharing.
Sometimes we forget what is the kind thing to do then a "slap in the face" brings us back to reality. The ladies did it because help was needed and they were very gracious about lending a hand. Amen to them.

I feel like I just had a slice of humble pie… Thank you Sean.

How beautiful. They were the hands and feet of Christ.
That’s Jesus in the flesh. God bless their hands, feet and hearts.

Just living their faith😇☕️🦋
A true Sean classic. Those beautiful people remind us all we are here primarily - to - serve. Amen!
God’s helping hands.
Praise to You Lord Jesus Christ.
How Christ like! That’s what this life is all about! Thanks for the reminder.
Mennonites for the win. Actions over words. I never thought to be a Mennonite but this family was an object lesson that is hard to ignore.
Servants serving!! Love this
