Sunday

I want to jot down something from church each week that impressed me, or touched me in some way.  So this is the first installment. 

The speaker in church told a story of integrity that was related to her at her father's funeral.  A man wanted to purchase a food market in this small Idaho town and had asked her father, who was a small town lawyer, to check out the purchase and handle the legal work.  When her father reported back to the man that it was indeed a sound business decision, he said only the price was wrong.  The purchaser was excited to get the market, and for a better price.  Then the lawyer told him that the price was too low.  The seller had a prime location, he had made improvements to the property, he had built up a quality business, and now this sell would be his reward for a lifetime of work, and his retirement.  The lawyer told his client it was worth more, and to pay more was the right thing to do.  The man wondered who the lawyer was working for, but in the end, did pay the higher price.  He said he never regretted that decision.  It was the right thing to do.
