<p style="text-align: left;">He remains:</p>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Prepared</li>
<li>Willing to work</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;">Every day he gets up ready to <a href="https://dianaderringer.com/hand-to-the-plow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">put his hand to the plow</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">According to the NTC’s American Idioms Dictionary, a Johnny on the spot is “in the right place at the right time.”</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Employers love such workers.</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">The workers:</p>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Have the tools they need</li>
<li>Get to work on time</li>
<li>Do a good job</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Johnny on the spot can refer to anyone of any age or position.</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">Whether men, women, boys, or girls, they decide to do their best at whatever they do.</p>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Gardeners remain ready to garden.</li>
<li>Drivers remain ready to drive.</li>
<li>Students remain ready to study.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>A Johnny on the spot teaches by example.</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">He helps keep everyone else <a href="https://dianaderringer.com/on-your-toes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on their toes</a>:</p>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Younger workers learn good work habits.</li>
<li>Older workers decide to work harder.</li>
<li>Bosses often learn as well.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;">Like the pictured flower garden, a Johnny on the spot <a href="https://dianaderringer.com/bear-fruit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bears good fruit</a>. He also encourages others to do the same.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“Remind them &#8230; to be ready for every good work” (Titus 3:1 NKJV).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Thanks to Joyce Cordell for the suggestion</p>
