JOHN
Good Morning! I’m John Branning the Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. I read a story of a wealth woman who was traveling overseas and saw a bracelet she wanted to buy. The price was 75,000 dollars. She sent her husband a telegram and asked if she could buy it. Her husband promptly wired back this response: “NO, PRICE TOO HIGH.” The cable operator however, omitted the comma, so the woman received the message: NO PRICE TOO HIGH.” So, the lady bought the bracelet. What a difference a comma made. Indeed, it is the little things in life that can make all the difference in the world. Sometimes, neglecting to pay attention to the little things in life can be very costly. Costly, not so much in terms of dollars spent, but costly in terms of lost opportunities to encourage and lift people up. A smile, a simple “thank you,” a personal note, a phone call or even an email can make a big difference in someone’s day. Never underestimate the power of the little things we can do to make life better.
