[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] A Hero Next Door

[Maggie Stringer]

A hero could be next door and you wouldn’t know it. The fellow who changes
the oil in your car could be a hero in overalls. Maybe as he works he
prays, asking God to do with the heart of the driver what he does with the
engine. The daycare worker where you drop off the kids? Perhaps her morning
prayers include the name of each child and the dream that one of them will
change the world.

I know—those folks don’t fit our image of a hero. They are too, well,
normal. Give us four stars, titles, and headlines. But we seldom see heroes
in the making. And we seldom recognize heroes, but we’d do well to keep our
eyes open. Tomorrow’s great preacher might be mowing your lawn. And the
hero who inspires that person might be nearer than you think — maybe in
your mirror.
