The Friday Feature w/ Sean: “Gratefulness, Humbleness and Humility.”
👉🏽 On April 10, 2018, I met a special person in Washington, D.C. We only talked for a few minutes. Four years later, we met again. Same place. Despite Covid. God drops people in our lives for a reason. Take a moment to meet Ben Roberts. Thanks, Ben for sharing your message with me four years ago and in 2022! 🙏 Prayers for you as you battle cancer – again! ❤️ #keeppushingforward and #leadwithyourheart because #leadership and #friendship matter. Welcome to Week 113 of #TheFridayFeature My notes from 2018: Ben, a tall thin gentleman, is a retiree from the post office. While he is retired, he hasn’t stopped working. He continues to push forward. As I approached him for assistance, he seemed to be just another person in the lobby. But before he accepted his next assignment, he looked me in the eye and extended his hand. “Hello. My name is Ben.” As he worked, we talked. Ben was soft-spoken, but easily heard. It was clear he was a man of faith. Christian. When Ben was 16, he fathered his first child. She now has a doctorate and helps save lives. Ben, a married man, said he encourages his clients to remember three things: “gratefulness, humbleness and humility.” It was clear that Ben follows his own advice. During our time together, his actions spoke as loud as his words. He masterly conducted his assignment but never lost focus on his mission of connecting with his client – me. No phones. No texts. Just two men talking. You see, Ben is spreading the good news. He happens to shine shoes to “supplement his income.” Give thanks.
