“Sometimes It’s The Little Things…”

 
 
 
sometimes its the little things

Sometimes it really is the little things that may count to be something really big in another’s life. It is also true that sometimes the things we are called upon to do may even be inconvenient,  yet if God is asking us to do it, we need to be obedient no matter  how small of a thing it may seem to you.

 

There was a time ordained by the Lord in which He had me visiting two special ladies in a nursing home.   They had shared a room in the home, and their days were long so they loved to have visitors.   Some days I would take my little dog, and it was so precious to see all the resident’s eyes light up when they got to pet and love on that little dog.   Sometimes I would sit by the bed side of

these women and read devotions from the scriptures for them.   Other days I would try to decorate their room according to seasons and holidays or I would try to show up with some fresh brewed coffee for them.   Such small things meant so much for their world was now confined to four walls, and limited activity.   Honestly, there were days that fitting this in my schedule really did make for a long day for me, but I knew I needed to be obedient to what the
Lord had instructed me to do.    
 
 

Today I encourage you to find ways to bring joy to those that cannot repay you. As I drive by the street on which this nursing home is I often think that I would give anything to pick up some hot coffee, and walk through those doors and see their precious faces. They have gone on to be with the Lord and that time is gone and precious memories of their love for me is all I have to remember.   I learned once again in my life that life is so frail, and there are those that need us desperately   May we obediently show the love of Jesus no matter how small the deed may seem to us.

Sometimes those little things occupy the biggest
