ITS THE SMALL THINGS THAT MATTER....

firstly i will apologize to my readers for missing in action for the past one and a half weeks...there was a problem with the network but i am glad to be back....
anyway am sure you have heard of this before,that it is the small things that matter,am going to say it over again hoping this time it will strike a different bone in you.over the weekend i attended the Mavuno 'fearless 2010' leadership conference,which was so much fun and a learning experience.anyway one was the key things discussed was of course the vision 'change a city,take a continent and win a world'.as you would imagine it sounds really big,even for me who is always optimistic about things.i sat there asking myself "lord how are we going to do this?and whats my role?"
at the point i saw myself as this really small girl in a big world,it looked big and i am supposed to 'win' it.never the less i smiled at the thought of that possible achievement.as i pondered on my role i was looking for something 'big' to play a part in making the vision a reality,needless to say everything did seem a little too big.that is when it struck me,for anything to be a reality small things counted...
its the seconds that pass to make the hours that we treasure,
its the parts of the automobile that make the cars we so love,
its the steps we take that eventually let us finish a journey,
its the a million breaths we take that keep us alive,
its takes every small tooth to have that beautiful smile,
its a strand of hair at a time that make a beautiful head of hair,
its a stone at a time put together that form the houses we live in,
its a combination of small crumbs that make the cakes we devour,
its a set of microchips that make the powerful computers we use,
its a complex set of microscopic nerves that enables us to feel touch,
i could go on but i think you get it,its the small things that matter.i may not know exactly what to do but i do know the small things i do count.the prayers i whisper to God on behalf of my friends,the effort i make to attend church,the time i take to participate in various activities e.t.c they may look simple but they all count.
you don't have to have much in this world to make a difference,just one thing at a time,whatever it is you can do,it matters for it is those 'little' things that make the big things.
i have my ability to write,26 letters of the alphabet,an audience to talk to and this is my starting point towards that difference,what is yours?
