© Patty Fitts. All Rights Reserved. A physician was taking her four-year-old daughter to preschool. On the drive over, the doctor noticed the little girl had begun playing with her stethoscope, which she had left on the car seat.
Be still, my heart, thought the doctor. My daughter wants to follow in my footsteps!
Then the child spoke into the instrument: “Welcome to McDonald’s. May I take your order?”
Who knows? Maybe the little darling did one day become a doctor. We all would like to think that we have influence for good in the lives of others. Sometimes we see the results immediately, but most of the time we are not privileged to see the final outcome. We must focus on doing the best we can, and most likely the positive effects will follow.
