The Extra Mile

People love the person that goes beyond the call of duty.  Employers dream of the man or woman that not only get the sale but also delivers the item on the way home to insure customer satisfaction.

Most of us know to aim for a distant star we might still land on the moon!  We.have heard it said: "we're in second place, so we try harder." Though second place is great many will use that extra "umph" to do or be even better.

In this new era, it can't be business as usual.  The company/church/person that goes the extra mile and does it sincerely will be the attention getter and will achieve true success.

Jesus Himself  told if a Roman soldier tells you to carry his duffle bags a mile take it two miles. He said something like if someone were to ask for your sweater give them your coat as well.

The Church in the book of Acts (of the Bible), The Christians were being persecuted but still loving.  The neighborhoods and the then "known world" took notice and many accepted their belief and trust in Christ!

Superstars, Non-profits, Churches and Businesses that "WIN" for all the right reasons and the good of their "community", are disciplined  beyond the "Norm"and go the extra mile!
