How about little things? Like a smile, a warm welcome, a voice of concern, intentional time spent with someone in need, a quick note of encouragement, a text that says I am thinking about you,, a message that's says I'm praying for you, reaching out to a stranger, stoping to check on a stranded motorist, even paying for a meal for someone you don't even know. There are so many little things that leave a lasting impression. They can change the moral course of the future. They can remold the aura of societies heart.
Why is this? I believe the little things are not so little. They are not material so they will not perish. You can not place a monetary value on them, therefore they are priceless. The little things that really matter are the things we give of ourselves. When we sacrifice a smile, a word, a deed, a moment, an hour, an ear to listen, a day, our own personal need, whatever we can sacrifice of our selves is giving a piece of you to someone else. It's these little things that inspire others to give of themselves in order to help, inspire, and encourage others.
I've been blessed this week to experience these little things. I've seen them at MD Anderson, I've seen them at the Ronald McDonald house, and I have seen them on the streets. Enough of these little things will change not only a persons life, but they can change the world we live in. Little things can make this world a better place. Choose this day to do the little things, others will pay it forward because you cared.
Matthew 7:12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
May my life be the proof and evidence if His love.
