My Hat’s Off to You
To show honor, respect, or admiration, I might say, “My hat’s off to you.” Years ago, men would often remove their hats and bow in a lady’s presence. They would also remove their hats before people in authority.
These ladies were part of a volunteer team that worked in our church’s recent Vacation Bible School.
- The work was tiring.
- The children were active.
- The workers could have spent their week doing much easier tasks.
Yet, they love children and understand the value of that time.
The children sang, played games, made crafts, ate snacks, heard stories, and more. In the process, they learned eternal life lessons.
After their week’s work, this group selected a day for fun. Their destination: Martha’s Tearoom at Emerald Acres in Glendale, Kentucky.
Martha told everyone to choose a hat before the tea. Once seated, the workers feasted. They laughed. They told stories. They shared concerns.
We need more people like these wonderful women who make our world a better place. Ladies, my hat’s off to you.
How can we thank God enough for you, for all the joy we feel because of you before our God? (1 Thessalonians 3:9 NET).
