Specialist Johnson

July 24

Specialist Johnson worked in personnel when I was at the Officers Candidate School at Ft. Benning. I was from his hometown so he befriended me. On graduation day I wanted my first salute to come from Specialist Johnson so I could give him the traditional dollar. He saw me and waved. I said sternly, "Specialist is that the way you greet an officer?"

The look on his face was not friendly. He saluted, I returned it and handed him the dollar. Then he was all smiles.
Isn't God like that, making us humble ourselves first, then comes His blessings"

“There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." (Proverbs 18:24)
