Little things

Jesus in the Gospel today acknowledges that those who can be trusted in little things can be trusted in great. I wonder what immediately comes to mind for you. I am thinking about following through with promises made, being present and engaged at family and community events, being grateful for the kindnesses shown and responding in kind. All those little acts of love that often pass unnoticed that mean so much. I am thinking about being consistent and authentic when the spotlight is on or off. I am considering people who have very little materially and yet have strong family ties and meaningful friendships and the generosity and hospitality they demonstrate towards others. They understand where true riches lie.

Jesus wants us to be aware of where our true riches lie.

Blessings on your week.

Those little things

It’s those little things

That make us smile

That make our lives seem so worthwhile

That warm the winters of our hearts

And make our worries melt away

It’s those little things that can surprise

That help to open up our eyes

That make us stop and think again of those little things

Way back when

The colours of the spring outside

The summer sun upon our back

The funny things that children say

To watch them learning as they play

It’s those little things that can inspire

Like conversations round the fire

The laughter and the memories shared

All those little things from those who cared

The songs we’ve sung into the night

The peaceful glow of morning light

The knowing look, the helping hand from those 

We love and understand

And those little things keep coming too

If we allow them to get through

Catching us all unaware

And teaching us what matters most

Those little things

And those little things keep……..

And those little things keep happening everyday
