Psalm 84 (New International Version, ©2011)
10 Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
the LORD bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.

Confessions of a Walmart Greeter: All in a Day's
Work
Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., initiated an open-door policy seldom seen in business today. He was actually receptive to employee suggestions. One Walmart staffer proposed, due to increased shoplifting problems, that it might be beneficial to post greeters at each Walmart entrance. Sam's vision included a welcoming experience for customers, so he took the employee's advice. The rest is history. Walmart greeters serve as shoplifting deterrents and as the face of Walmart.
A Walmart greeter is the first person a customer encounters when he enters the store. Since it's the consumer's initial point of contact, the intention is for it to be a pleasant one. Although the pay is meager for Walmart greeters, the impressions they make are not. I once witnessed a Walmart greeter run quite a distance to alert a woman that her laundry detergent was leaving a trail behind her. It's all in a day's work.
Meet Ken
Ken, a Walmart greeter in the small town of Mesquite, NV, has been brightening my days for over a year now. He quips that he applied for the job because he was "getting in his wife's way" at home. He is retired from another profession, as are many Walmart greeters.
Typical day
Ken tells me his workday starts very early in the morning. He follows a basic routine each day. After clocking in, Ken scours the area where he'll be posted to make sure it's in tip-top shape. He dusts the window sills, picks up the cigarette butts left from the night before, and clears out any debris. He makes sure that the carts are all lined up and ready to go.
Meet and greet
A Walmart greeter's main job reflects its title: Greet the customers enthusiastically. Ken says that he is also responsible for putting pricing tickets on return items. One of his most challenging responsibilities is making sure that all goods are accounted for as buyers exit the store. He has run across a few indignant patrons when he's asked to see their receipts. Ken has no complaints. He says that the good outweighs the bad in his job as a greeter at Walmart.
Can You imagine what it would be like to be a "Walmart" style greeter in Heaven. That would be the job to have. You would get to witness everyones first look at Heaven. After, a long and painful life here on Earth, the pleasure of Heaven and the face of Jesus will be an amazing sight to see. Seeing God in his glory for the first time will be a spectacle we will all want to witness. I can't imagine any more excitement as that when we will see our families enter the gates of Heaven. I want to be the first one to greet them. Walmart greeters may not make a lot of money. You wouldn't have to pay me a dime to be a greeter at the door to Heaven. Praise God, He loves us and cares for us so much that, he not only sent his son to die for us, but he built a home for us to live for eternity. Not just any home, but a mansion with streets of Gold. A home where there is no more pain and suffering. He built a home designed specifically for us. Praise God! I can't wait!
