So many times we have more to do in one day than can be done. It's easy to get in a hurry and forget to be present where you are, and with the people closest to you.

In John chapter 4, you read about Jesus and the woman at the well. Jesus had three years to complete his entire ministry on earth, yet he traversed out of his way to go through Samaria specifically for this divine encounter. He slowed down, and changed a woman's life forever. This trickled out and impacted an entire city.

I encourage us all to walk through crowds slowly, ask people how they are doing and genuinely wait for an answer, smile at strangers, and turn our electronics off regularly to be with our loved ones. This is just some of the little things that make a big difference to others.
