It’s The Little Things

Today’s Scripture: And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, ² and He saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites.³ So He said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; ⁴ for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had.” Luke 21:1-4 (NKJV)

Song To Meditate on: The Little Things (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaEtSC9h9o4)

Do you know the saying that goes “good things come in small packages?”  The saying means that something is small but has better quality than big ones. This can be said of gifts; usually jewelry which comes in small packages and is usually worth more than things that can hold in big packages.

In the same way it is the little things that we do that count the most to people. Recently my mom was sharing with me how she gave a friend of hers a copy of the “Our Daily Bread” devotional because she found herself with an extra one. Her exact words to me were “Peta if I gave her a million dollars she would not have been more grateful.” You see ladies, this lady has been repeating her old devotionals for years now and without my mom knowing this she decided to give her one, for this her friend was most grateful and thanks her every time she sees her.

We also see where today’s scripture talks about the lady with the widow’s mite, the amount she gave might have been small but Christ considered it more than all the others because she gave it out of her poverty.

Ladies, I remember someone telling me that she prayed for someone fifteen years ago and the person remembered her and sought her out. That person helped her in so many ways because of that one prayer.

 So ladies this morning let us remember that it is the little things that we do for others and God that counts the most. It’s that little smile; it’s that word of encouragement, or that one meal that will cause someone to remember you or even prevent someone from committing suicide.

This morning remember to do even a little thing for someone and remember it is the little thing that makes the difference.

Have A God Filled Day Ladies

Let’s Pray

Father God, thank you for recognizing the small things that we do. Help us to be kind to others and to impact someone’s life today.

In Jesus Name

Amen
