A Hero in the Mirror

"A hero could be next door and you wouldn't know it. The fellow who changes the oil in your car could be a hero in overalls! Maybe as he works, he prays, asking God to do with the heart of the driver what he does with the engine. They daycare worker where you drop off the kids? Perhaps her morning prayers include the name of each child and the dream that one of them will change the world.

"I know----those folks don't fit our image of a hero. They are too......well, normal. Give us four stars, titles, and headlines. We seldom see heroes in the making and we seldom recognize heroes, but we would do well to keep our eyes open. Tomorrow's great preacher might be mowing your lawn.

"And the hero who inspires that person might be nearer than you think! Maybe in your mirror!"
