A single gesture can outlast the moment it’s given. The simplest kindness—a steady hand, a warm greeting, a bit of laughter shared—can echo long after, reshaping how someone carries their burdens. Small acts rarely make headlines, yet they often do the quiet, unseen work of lifting spirits and reminding us we’re never truly alone.
Looking back at a photo of Kyle Field during the pandemic, I was reminded of how often ordinary people are called to extraordinary service. Teachers masked up, doctors worked endless shifts, and countless quiet acts of love carried us through uncertain days. Servanthood rarely looks heroic—it’s usually disguised as persistence, sacrifice, or care. I see it most clearly in Becky, whose tireless devotion in both small and large ways embodies what Jesus modeled when He washed His disciples’ feet. Gratitude isn’t only about receiving blessings—it’s about honoring the love and service that make them possible.
