Make the Common Uncommon
Dec 7, 2005
I am traveling on business the next week or so, into unfamiliar territory. I'm visiting new customers in a land strange to me. Today I passed rivers and lakes and waterfalls, all frozen. These are common for the residents of the area, but to me, they are enchanting, fascinating.
And isn't this our life's purpose? To bring strangers into an unknown realm and to make exceptional that which is familiar and ordinary.
I am an account executive - what I do is nothing unusual. I sell computers and technology; definitely commonplace stuff. And yet, in my work, I have an opportunity to bring light and life into every conversation. It's not that my work is ministry. Rather, my ministry is the work I do.
