Don't Pass Up 200 Pennies To Pick Up A Dollar Bill
Contributed by Rev. Dr. David T. Williamson on Jun 15, 2024 (message contributor)
Don't pass up 200 pennies to pick up a dollar bill. In other words, it's the little things in life that happen along the way that can add up. It's the little things in life that make a big difference! Generosity means being willing to give of yourself, even when not asked, and small acts of kindness can go a long way. Little things also add up!
From a financial perspective, picking up a penny here or there, or saving a penny here or there, over the long run can add up. Besides, if you pick up 200 pennies you will get more exercise than to pick up a dollar bill! As to giving of yourself and being willing to engage those who might otherwise be "less significant to you", again, it's the little things we do along the way that can impact someone's life for eternity!
This quick story can be used in several different ways. Apply it as you see fit!
