Heartwarming

One school system made a heartwarming decision to name a building after its dedicated janitor. It was a unique and moving honor to recognize and celebrate an employee's efforts who means so much to the students, faculty and staff. Check out this incredible story to see how one school thanked a beloved employee.

Many people see their job simply as a way to receive a weekly or bi-weekly paycheck and provide financially for their families. Of course, people should always strive to be the best employees possible. Acting in such a manner is fulfilling and follows the Bible’s command to work as if we’re working for the Lord and not for man.

However, some people go a step further and see their job as a calling. They love their position, their coworkers and their employer. People who view their position as more than a paycheck but as a calling and a purpose will go above and beyond the call of duty. Every employer wants those supremely dedicated individuals. One elementary school in Missouri has one of those kinds of people.

According to the video posted on YouTube, Claudene Wilson is a longtime janitor at a school in Swedeborg, Missouri. She is always willing to lend a hand, fulfill whatever role and step up in any way. In addition to her janitorial duties, Claudene has driven a school bus, helped in the school cafeteria, assisted with landscaping and even performed secretarial duties. Whatever is needed to be done, she is more than willing to do it.

Claudene regularly works 13-hour days at the school. She confesses that the kids, the students, keep her motivated and willing to work those long days.

To recognize all her hard work and dedication, the school board unanimously agreed to name the elementary school “Claudene Wilson Learning Center.”

Everyone – the students, staff and the school board president – agrees that Claudene is more than deserving of such an honor.

“These kids get sick; you think they go to the nurse to start with?” Chuck Boren, school board president, said. “They go to her. If they had a bad night, they go to her. I mean, she’s there for each and every one of them.”

However, Claudene, being the humble, modest and hardworking person she is, feels otherwise.

“It touches your heart, but I don’t think my name needs to be up on a building somewhere.”

Colossians 3:23 “Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men;”

A son’s heartfelt surprise brought back the car his father sold decades ago. The man went through much hard work and effort to find the vehicle his dad sold to help provide for their family. This is such a sweet and heartwarming moment. It will bring a tear or two or three to your eyes.

In life, everyone must make decisions. We make decisions so often, possibly hundreds of times every day, that we do not even realize we’re doing it. We are constantly presented with situations where we have several options and must make decisions.

Most daily decisions don’t have life-changing, earth-shattering repercussions or consequences. Nevertheless, every decision made comes with a sacrifice. Because we chose this option, we don’t get to do this or have that. However, our choices will be predicated on and determined by our priorities in life. We will make decisions that benefit what we most value and love.

A clip posted on YouTube shows the moment a son surprised his father with a blue, mint-condition 1967 Camaro. It’s the same make and model the father sold more than four decades earlier to provide for his family. The father was presented with a choice and made a decision that would benefit his family.

The big reveal was a moment, a surprise that required years of hard work. Jared Guynes, the man who presented his father with the Camaro, started the process of searching for and restoring the vehicle in 2021.

The process was even more difficult because Jared couldn’t call his father for help while working on the vehicle.

“Honestly, my dad is the expert on this car and all, what we would call carbureted cars, like muscle cars,” he said. “So many times I had a problem with the car, and if I can only have called my dad, and asked the question, he could have helped me fix it.”

Of course, that would have ruined the surprise. Jared eventually restored the vehicle, making for a moment his father will never forget.

What a beautiful act for a father who obviously loves and cares for his family very much.

2 John 1:8 “Keep watch over yourselves, so that you do not make our work of no effect, but may get your full reward.”
