Timothy Stackpole was a New York Firefighter, who was
severely burned in a 1998 fire. After he recovered, he returned to the force despite the
advice of some friends & family & the fact that he could retire
comfortably.
He was a great fire fighter & passionate about his work
& was soon promoted to captain. Timothy was one of the fire fighters that
ran into the 2nd tower to try to save some people. When he did, it collapsed
& took his life.
He knew his calling - to save people. The Holy Spirit has
called us to a life of service. We should live for Him.

Kenneth T. Jackson & David S. Dunbar (ministry127.com)
"Serve God by doing common actions in a heavenly
spirit, and then, if your daily calling only leaves you cracks and crevices of
time, fill them up with holy service."
- Charles Spurgeon.
2 Pet 1:10 (NLT): "So, dear brothers and sisters, work
hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen. Doing
this, you will never stumble or fall away."
"Next to faith this is the highest art - to be content
with the calling in which God has placed you." Martin Luther.
