I said, Dad, Mrs. Tate is the meanest lady I know.

She shoots at our dogs with her shotguns.

She's cussing at us for no reason.

She's not nice.

And I said, they can't do anything for us.

Look at their farm.

It's all run down.

He said, I want you to go over there with me.

We're going to ask for the privilege to serve her.

We went over to see Mrs. Tate and my dad.

We're standing on our doorstep.

My dad said, tell her why we're here.

I said, Mrs. Tate, we want to help get your crops in.

She looked at us and she said, why would you do that? My dad said, tell her.

Tell her about the God you serve.

do you understand if we're going to be real we got to tame the tongue and we got to start serving people who can't do anything back she said i i don't have money for seed or anything his illness the last 10 years has taken everything he's dying my dad says tell her we'll do it yeah he said you understand the privilege is ours to serve you she said i don't know what to say when we walked away my dad said if you're not careful you're going to grow up selfish privileged and selfish because you're not desperate for somebody to help you But the world's full of widows and orphans who need you.
