Thought for Today: Not Just $0.25
Our job subsidizes the soda machines so that every purchase is only a quarter. It's very generous of them, plus it allows me to feed a very aggressive sweet tooth. However, yesterday was different. Not realizing the machine was broken, I placed a quarter in it, pressed my selection, and it did not reward me nor did it return my quarter. Because the drinks were so cheap, I made myself feel better by reciting it's only a quarter in my head. I surmised that i'd saved so much money over the years that one quarter wouldn't make much of a difference. I was then able to happily go about my day without any bitter or negative feelings. Today, my coworker said that she'd bought a drink (my favorite drink) from the machine that she didn't want and gave it to me. I was excited about this because it is not just a quarter, or a drink, but rather it's a reminder that God is faithful and good.
