Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
Here is an article by an unknown author that I wanted to share.
A man was hired to paint a boat. As asked, he brought his paint and brushes and began to paint the boat bright red.
While painting, he noticed a small hole in the hull and repaired it. When he finished painting, he received his money and left.
The boat owner came to the painter the next day and presented him with another check, much higher than the amount agreed upon.
Surprised, he said, “You've already paid me for painting the boat.”
“But this is not for the paint job. It's for repairing the hole in the boat.”
“Ah! But it was such a small service, and certainly, it's not worth paying me such a high amount for something so insignificant.”
“My dear friend, you do not understand. When I asked you to paint the boat, I forgot to mention the hole. When the boat dried, my kids took the boat and went on a fishing trip.
They did not know that there was a hole and I was not at home at that time. When I returned and noticed they had taken the boat, I was desperate because I remembered that the boat had a hole.
Imagine my relief and joy when I saw them returning from fishing. Then, I examined the boat and found that you had repaired the hole!
You see, now, what you did? You saved the life of my children! I do not have enough money to pay your 'small' good deed.”
The seemingly small details make a huge difference....be the best you!
