Be a sugar packet

Sweet tea. Very popular in the south, and very well made by McDonald's. But the problem is, I have come to like unsweet tea. So I ordered my unsweet from McDonald's, but turns out they gave me sweet. Sigh. 

The solution to making it taste less sweet was mixing it with a huge pitcher I had in the fridge. You want to know what happened though? It made the whole pitcher taste really sweet! When you have gotten used to plain tea, a little sugar goes a long way. 

This simple fact is sad but true in the world today. We have gotten so used to living in a way that is pretty bland and bitter. One where we need to be self-reliant and make everything happen on our own. We don't pay attention to others and their struggles because we feel like we don't need them. But this darkness we are in also sets up the perfect "pitcher" for the smallest amounts of sweetness and hope. A small kind act goes a long way during times like now. So let yourself be a sugar packet and find a way to sweeten even one person's day.
