Sometimes thing's may seem insignificant, But you may be surprised.
I had to leave home when I was 15 for a period of time and I stayed at some friends house. They had a farm and it was there that I bought my first truck. The day before I was leaving I was out at the pond with a 30lb bow and some arrows and I had a little friend there with me. He was approximately 10 years old. A snake was swimming across the pond and as it was reaching the bank on the other side, I let loose an arrow. The snake disappeared. we ran to retrieve the arrow that was stuck in the mud and water when to my surprise, as I pulled it out, I found the snake with the arrow in the back of its head. I didn't think much of it and because it was time for me to go, I turned and asked the boy if he wanted the bow and arrows. He said yes, so I gave them to him and left. Years later, I was in Canton City at the largest flea market I had ever seen, and a friend told me that that boy ( now grown up and married ) lived up on the edge of this place, so I went to see him. After the greetings, he asked me to wait for a minute while he went to get something, so I did. He brings in this 30lb bow and asked if I remembered it. Well at the time I did not and that's when he reminded me of what I did at the pond. Then he says wait a minute, and again and disappears only to return with a compound bow and some arrows which were stuck inside of each other. He told me that from that day at the pond, he had practiced until he was a master archer. I had been his influence. ( TO ME ) , it was nothing. But to him, it was inspirational. We must be careful of our actions with others for in sharing them we influence others even if we are unaware.
