Small Things; Value; Priorities
Illustration★★★★A woman visiting a second-hand store on a winter’s day, took off her muddy boots and left them at the front door of the store. When she went to get them after shopping they were … not there! While she was in the store, the $100 boots were sold. For two dollars! The man at the cash register thought they had been on sale in the store. He didn’t see the value of the boots and thought they were worth little. How like people today, who don’t see the value in the Bible, don’t see the value in prayer. While you’re earning a living or getting an education or otherwise changing the world, remember the little things. They’re really the big things. And they’re valuable.
The point
A woman's expensive muddy boots are sold for $2, teaching that people often miss the value in Scripture and prayer just as the cashier missed the boots' worth.
