I am reminded almost daily that life is lived in the little things, not in the big spectacular splashes. Big projects may grab attention, but much of what moves us forward happens in small, unnoticed, almost invisible ways. Yesterday provided me a good reminder that investing life in things that can ultimately matter and make a difference is often less than spectacular.
Just a summary of the most time-consuming activities related to my work in ministry and missions. But then one adds personal things like evaluating a resume for my son, working with the realtors on inspections and the upcoming home sale and purchase along with various moving details, touching base with our family by phone…. Add the spiritual side of life with prayer and hearing God’s Word.
Nothing spectacular, a lot of “little” projects that fill the day from very early to late. Thankfully, God turns little things into things that ultimately change us and change our world, little by little.
