Mail Time

On Tuesdays and Wednesdays I work in the PTS mail room. I know it's not a glamorous job, but I really like it. I'm not sure there is a better job for sharing in fellow students' joys. If someone gets an invitation to a wedding, we know. If someone gets a book from a used bookstore, we know. If someone's mother sends her a collection of Spencer Tracy/Katherine Hepburn movies, we know. [Thanks, Mom!] Whenever checks are issued, we are the first to receive ours.
When I heard during orientation that we are not preparing for ministry we are actively doing ministry, I wasn't entirely sure. But I see now how this job can be a ministry. We are sharing the light of Christ through serving our fellow students, faculty, and staff by making sure their mail and packages are delivered in a timely manner.
