A SHINING EXAMPLE
There’s a story told about Dr. Charles Mayo who, with his father and brother, founded the world-famous Mayo Clinic. A group of European medical experts were visiting the clinic and were staying as guests at Dr. Mayo’s home. In their own countries it was the custom of these gentlemen to place their shoes outside the bedroom doors for a servant to polish. As Dr. Mayo was headed to bed, he noticed shoes lined up outside the rooms of his guests, but it was too late to wake up any of the servants. With a sigh he picked up all of the shoes, hauled them to the kitchen, and spent half of the night polishing them. Dr. Charles Mayo was secure enough in his relationship with God and himself to humble himself like that.
