The Most Important Decision to Make In Life
But first, a story to warm the soul
I recently came across a true story written by a woman named Pam Kearney. She was sharing about the impact of a tiny, seemingly inconsequential action that left a big mark in her own life.
Here is what she had to say:
“I visited Matthew, the owner of Lucy’s Flour Shop a little while back. As I nibbled on an enormous chocolate chip cookie I began to tell him a story.
A few years back on a bitterly cold December evening, there was a visitation at the funeral home across the street from his bakery.
The people, bundled up in coats, scarves, and blankets were lined up around the building waiting to hug the family of the deceased.
Seemingly out of nowhere, a man showed up and began giving away hot coffee to the people outside. People who entered the funeral home with coffee in their hands whispered of a mysterious man handing out free coffee, and how much they appreciated it.
I looked at Matthew and said, “I have a suspicion that you were that man. Is that right?”
Matthew very humbly replied, “Yes, I felt so bad for them and wanted to do something, but all I could do was make coffee, so I made coffee.”
