Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Servanthood

Working at a crappy grocery store such as Albertsons has enlightened me in many ways. I have learned that people can be real, 100% certified jerks sometimes. It's not so much that this offends me but I just hate to see people from my very own church come into the store on a Sunday afternoon and be extremely rude to a high school kid just tryin' to save up for college.
Now don't get me wrong I'm not complaining, it's just that God is an awesome teacher and even though I catch more crap a day than a port-a-potty does all week He still taught me to be more kind and compassionate to the people that serve me.
Like today the lady @ Wal-Mart messed up my checkout somehow and had to call her manager over for something. The lady had obviously had a long day and was becoming frustrated so I struck up a friendly conversation w/ her instead of getting my feathers ruffled over the situation like the guy in front of me did. At the end of my transaction I said "thank you, and have a good rest of the day" to which she responded with a grateful smile and said "Thank you, you too."
Along w/ her grateful smile came somewhat of a curious glance like she was wondering why I wasn't like every other rude customer she had dealt with on her shift.
We are called to be Jesus to the people around us and sometimes that makes us stick out. We are resident aliens on this earth and are called to a higher purpose than anything we can strive for here. If you're not good at talking or teaching about Christ's love (which I'm really not) then show his undeserving loe to the people that surround you because imitation is the sincerest form of servanthood.
