My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory.  –James 2:1

After my freshman year in college I took a job at Texas Roadhouse as a server.  Though it had its fun moments, the job was also incredibly frustrating.  As a server you learn the challenging lesson of doing the best for people regardless of what they will give you in return.  I’ll never forget one particular Saturday when I had made only a couple of dollars during the lunch “rush.”  I wasn’t going to be working that evening due to a bachelor party for my brother, and I was frustrated that I had only had one or two tables.  Adding to my frustration was a new table with a husband and wife as well as several kids.  My fellow servers and I got pretty good at recognizing which families were good tippers and which weren’t, and I was certain that this final table of my shift would require a lot of work with very little payback.  Though it was tempting to give them only perfunctory service, the Lord had been challenging me that summer with giving the best service possible to everyone.  Little did I know that this family would end up leaving me the largest tip I had ever received.  In fact, their bill was less than the tip that they left.  I’m not sure why they were so generous, but I know it was a blessing to me as it ended up being the
very same amount of money that I paid to take my two brothers out for dinner.  Before you judge someone based on his or her appearance, remember that you never know what’s happening on the inside.  You may be surprised with what you find.
