I can’t leave the subject of work<\/a> without a shout-out to my new hero Roberto, a server at the Colorado Springs DoubleTree Hotel. The Navigators just had a conference there, August 27 – 30. I first saw Roberto serving our dinner Saturday night. I didn’t think much of it until we showed up for breakfast the next morning, and there he was again…and at lunch…and at dessert at 8:30 p.m. following the Sunday night meeting (Sunday dinner was on our own.). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

EVERY meal from Saturday night through Tuesday night, Roberto was there. Cheerfully bringing our plates, fetching tea if someone wanted it, clearing plates, making conversation. Engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone noticed him. “Have you seen Roberto?” “One of you men should be sure he hears the gospel while we’re here.” (Not because he was a “bad” guy but because everyone loved him.) I gave him one of my piano CDs Sunday night, and he pulled a little booklet about Jesus from his pocket – one in English, one in Spanish – “Look what one of your friends gave me!” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday night as I was playing the piano prelude before the last meeting, Roberto stopped by briefly to acknowledge he was listening to me play…as he bustled about serving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I forgot to mention one thing: Roberto is…wait for it…78 years old! 78! And still joyfully serving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conferences and hotels have a lot of moving parts. Roberto helped make our conference more enjoyable, memorable, and inspirational. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before obscure men. (Proverbs 22.29, NASB)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
