Washing the dishes after the church potluck is a sermon nobody has to preach.

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

What people actually believe shows up most clearly in what they do after the official part is over. Nobody is watching the sink, so the work done there is not mixed up with wanting credit. A few people quietly scrubbing pans say more about a place than any announcement from the front.

Pick one gathering this week and stay ten minutes past the end. Take the job nobody put their name down for, and do it without narrating it. If somebody thanks you, let it stay small.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

Would you stay at the sink after your friends all leave?
