I believe it’s true that you cannot put a price tag on a thankful spirit. | |||
Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story night when I said to my wife, “This is a $1 million meal for sure.” How in the world do you tip a $1 million meal? As I was ruminating this through my mind, my wife sat down in the living room with me and said, “Did you really mean it was a $1 million meal?” Throughout life, I have learned one basic fact. If I don't say what I think I can't get into trouble. Am I in trouble now? If I would sell all my assets, I know I could not come anywhere near the tip due for a $1 million meal. Not knowing what to do, I said with the most gracious smile I could paint on my face, "Yes, my dear. It certainly was a $1 million meal, in my opinion." “Well,” she said, “that complement is worth $1 million to me.” I sighed a very deep sigh and realized I had actually tipped her more than I would tip the waitress at the restaurant. Life just can't get any better than that. As we exchanged smiles, I couldn't help but think of something the apostle Paul said, "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful” (Colossians 3:15). I believe it's true that you cannot put a price tag on a thankful spirit. Tweet
