Have you seen the sign on dump trucks that say, “stay back 200 feet, not responsible for windshield damage”? Dusty , a good friend of mine, drove a dump truck. Not only did he have a great mind, a walking encyclopedia; but he was very considerate of others. He kept and used a broom in his truck. Before and after each load, he would not only sweep around the bed of the truck, but under the rails as well. He went the extra mile in trying to make sure loose materials would not fall off the truck as he drove. He was a worker that you could depend on. If things got tough, Dusty was there for you, standing by your side. As his eyesight began to fail and he was not able to drive, his boss kept him on the payroll because of the commitment Dusty had given to the company over the years. Yes, Dusty thought more about others and made sacrifices for the benefit of others. When our days of labor are over, what will others say of us?
2 Timothy 2:15 (ESV)
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
Philippians 2:3-4 (ESV)
3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
