A few weeks before Christmas, I dropped off some items at a company that raises money reselling them.
The man collecting the items was a terrific representative of his company.
He was respectful, friendly and seemed to enjoy his job.
I told him that I was very impressed with him and would call his boss to put in a good `word for him.
I eventually made that call on January 3rd of this year.
About January 10th, I returned to the store with more items.
He didn’t seem to be a cheerful as when we first met.
He told me his teenage son had died of an overdose on January 3rd, the very day I told his boss how wonderful he was as a representative of her company.
In telling me about his son, he said, “You have no idea how much your kind words meant to me at that tragic moment in my life.”
So, you never know how much of an impact your words make in the life of others.
