Did you ever stop to think how the dance scenes with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers would look without the extras? Where would Superman have been without a crowd to stand, looking up and shouting, “Look! Up in the sky....” Where would you get an excuse for being late if it were not for all the peasants clogging up the highway in front of you?
We don’t stop to think about what unknowns strangers do to make our day.
Somewhere in the world is the worker who put the ink in the bottle that I use to fill my fountain pen. Someone picked my coffee beans. Someone assembled the drawers on my grandfather’s desk that I use every day. You get the picture.
There are so many people who make so many little contributions that make the world go round. Where would we be if they did not show up for work. Where would they be if I had not made my littel contributions through the years. It is awesome how a free market makes it all come together and we can enjoy it.
So, take a moment and thank God and all those unseen faces for the contributions to your life.
