A cup of coffee or $50 grand?

I’m well-versed at both ends of the spectrum, finding more joy on the front line

 

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.

Remember what Mother Teresa said?

serve others
if all you can do is write short, pithy posts, offer that to those who might benefit

If you can’t do great things, do small things with great love. – Mother Teresa

We are here to serve, not to be served. Even the smallest act of kindness is helpful. Do what you can. Raise the bar when you can, if you can. And if you can’t, continue to do small things with great love. Always.
