This looks so simple
It's a jar of marmalade but let me tell you the story behind this.
The guest who ordered this was 79 years old.
He ordered simple oatmeal with raisins and toast with marmalade.
I thought let me make him a fresh pot of marmalade.
He came down, began his meal and was ever so delighted about the warm fresh made marmalade
"That's some good marmalade, I make marmalade myself but never so good"
Then he began to tell me he was just diagnosed with cancer and appreciated all I had done for him.
So I said okay lemme top up the jar and gift wrap it so you can take it home.
Even more joy as he says, my wife will love this. Come to think of this yesterday was Valentine's day, I couldn't get her a gift or card, because I spent the morning at the Doctor's office and then travelled all the way from Scotland to attend this funeral in Ollerton
He truly was touched by all the "extras"
Dear friends never underestimate the great difference small acts of kindness will make. There are many opportunities each day to share love and be kind.
Give and never stop giving, it is truly more blessed to give than to receive
In so doing we will shine as light and salt of the earth
Amen
