Fill 'Er Up

It used to be, that “service stations” were where you drove your car in, parked at the pump, rolled down your window (if it wasn’t already down), and the attendant came to take your order - for gasoline.   Frequently, the attendants heard, “fill ‘er up.”  

At the “service station,” the folks really offered service - pumping your gas, washing your windshield - and the back window - and asking if your oil needed to be checked.   All while your tank was filling up.

Now, in our rush-rush world, service to others is less a part of day-to-day experience.   We can lament the change - or we can keep the service to others in our own lives.  

We can greet the other folks pumping gas next to us at the station.   We can give the other drivers a chance to merge in on the highway, driving in service.   We can carry love and express it throughout our day, driving, walking, being.

Fill ‘er up - with love.     Be in service - in love,
