Recognize these seemingly insignificant moments as God’s little gifts – the random ones, out of nowhere. They appear in our face and delight us to no end.

Fred approached me last night at Gold’s Gym and thanked me for the inspiration. He said he wasn’t going to come to the gym and then he thought “what would Jeff say?”.

He was dead serious.

I was exceptionally surprised, and abundantly grateful. God sent a tiny gift of encouragement to my doorstep.

A cup of coffee or $50 grand?

The conversation between the executive and the line worker yesterday entered the philosophical realms of what is worth more.

Mailing a $50,000 donation check to charity or being the volunteer to hand the fresh cup of coffee to the homeless woman.

Being close enough to deliver, appreciate, and receive immediate joy in her face?

Or…

Visualizing from your living room how many people’s lives are changed from your massive donation.

Tough call.

I propose we should know our answer intimately.
