First Watch Todd

Todd works at the First Watch on 40 highway in Independence.  He has been a staple there, a fixture there for a number of years.

I don't know if Todd goes to church.  I don't know that he and I have ever talked about God.  But I do know this, Todd does the work of Jesus.

Todd does more than take orders and bring food.  Todd touches you.  He shakes your hand, he put his hand on your shoulder.  He gives hugs.  He looks you in the eye.  He calls you by name.  He asks how you are doing.  He cares and you can sense that.

My friend Donna eats breakfast out with friends once a week.  They always sit in Todd's section.  He has learned the ladies names and asks about them when one of them is missing.  They have all exchanged phone numbers just in case any of the ladies ever need his help.

First Watch is usually busy.  Part of that is because of Todd.   Our churches need more Todds.  The world needs more Todds.

Do you and I care about others?  Can the others tell?

It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
