I had the privilege of staying at the Hampton Inn in Collierville, TN this past week-end. The hotel was clean and had a comfortable bed. Nothing special and no complaints. The privilege was a certain employee at the Hampton.

Throughout the week-end I heard her greet people and wish others a great day. You could tell she truly cared how people were doing and hoped they had a day filled with joy. It was so obvious that she has joy in abundance. It was not good customer service. It was not to help her excel in her job. The compassion, joy, and friendliness was true. The last conversation I heard was between she and a guest. She said that Christmas is all about family and love and spending time with family. She added that Christmas is also about Jesus and that she is so glad He was born. Simply stated yet…
