Hidden but never forgotten

Have you ever imagined that while we’re sleeping and resting, there are a million persons still working so that we can continue with our daily work, in comfort and safety. Imagine those working in Electrical Sub-Stations, making sure that the electricity never shuts down, stopping our Air Conditioners, and messing our alarm clocks, disrupting our football games we’re watching, and so many other problems caused if the electricity is cut off even for a few minutes. Imagine so many bakers working in the early hours of the night so that during our lunch we can find that crunchy loaf of bread waiting for us. And how about that regiment of cleaners, brushing, washing and cleaning our corridors so that all visitors will walk in a safe, clean environment, in schools, hospitals, nursing homes, offices. Then behind the actors and actresses who make millions of dollars every week, there are a plethora of workers setting up for every scene to be filmed, while carrying wires, heavy equipment and a zillion props to be used for 5 seconds total. And even in most churches there is always a group of humble hard-working ladies cleaning every corner, dusting statues and chandeliers, caring for vestments, altar cloths and so much more. They all accomplish hidden work, but we assure them that they are never forgotten. They are all in our prayers.
