Little Things Are Just as BIG

There are two things that would normally come to mind if you read the title, "Little Things are Just as Big." One, something physical that you can hold or see that is so extraordinary, no matter its size can be just as good as something big or two, something that someone does that impacts someone elses day. Even though things are small does not mean that we shouldn't acknowledge them. Little things can be even better or just as good as something big. So here's a story that happened a few years ago that really proves how something small can really be big for someone.

A few years ago we were at McDonald's and there was a man in front of us just about to order. He was dressed in what looked like to be heavily worn clothing and had a scruffy beard that hadn't been shaved for a while. He was about to order a small coffee and was just a few cents away from getting his drink. He counted his his money again and frowned. Turning around he asked for a quarter. My dad smiled and checked his pocket. He handed the man a quarter and the man graciously took it and said "thank-you" with a warm smile. He proceeded to buy his coffee and then left the restaurant quietly. This just proves how something so little like a quarter can impact a person and make them so happy. Think about it. A small little quarter made this man very happy and supplied him with a coffee.

Little things are ignored and they shouldn't be. They are just as important as the big things we do. They are just as important and just as special. The small things we do impact on what big thing we want to acomplish and they need to happen if we want to complete our goal. So, just remember, little things are NOT to be neglected, they are to be embraced just as something big! :)
