Little Acts of Love
Ever wish you
could change the world? You can you know! It doesn’t take
great wealth or power. You don’t need extraordinary talent.
You have tremendous power right now to impact this world.
Don’t believe me? Read on . . .
Remember the old song, "Little Things Mean a Lot?" Small
kindnesses take very little effort, but they can make
someone’s day. They are often appreciated more than we
realize. If you’ll just look around, you’ll see discouraged
people all around you. Don’t overlook the opportunities you
have to brighten someone’s life. Not only will it be
appreciated by the recipient and rewarded by God, but it
will enrich your own life as well. Small acts have a
profound impact on our world.
I can hear you saying, "I’m just one person. I can’t make a
difference." If you’ve ever been on the receiving end of a
smile, a hug, or a phone call just when it’s needed, you
know that this way of thinking couldn’t be more wrong! If
you think your contribution is like a tiny drop of water in
the huge ocean, consider Mother Theresa’s thoughts on that.
She said, "The ocean would be less without that one drop."
There could be no mountains, if not for the tiny grains of
sand of which the mountains are made! Yes, little things do
mean a lot. A short note of encouragement takes only a
moment to write; but it delivers to someone’s mailbox an
important message of love and concern. Your optimism,
encouragement, and empathy can make someone’s journey
through life a little easier. You may be exactly what
someone is needing and even praying for right now! Open your
heart. Show you care. Share a little love.
