Doing the small things...Are you Willing?

Mother Teresa once said:

"There are many people who can do big things, but there are very few people who will do the small things."

Taking out the garbage.

Cleaning out the kitty litter 3 times a day.

Walking the dog.

Picking up after the dog leaves it's, ahem, waste behind.

Doing the dishes.

Cleaning the windows.

Cleaning the bathroom.

Being on the clean up committee at church.

I gave up on saving the world many years ago.

I think this is God's way of saying,
"It's the joy in doing the small things that I want you to have.

Learn from this."

So, when I take out the garbage with a smile;

when I clean the kitty litter 3 or more times a day without complaining;

 When I walk the dog;

When I pick up after Pixie; 

When I do the dishes;

When I clean the bathroom;

When I clean up after an event at church,

and I do it with joy for God,

without complaining,

then,

in a very small way,

I have brought more peace to the world.

I have shared my joy in God.

I guess we have enough people to save the world, though they don't seem to be doing a very good job of it, but they try.

That's their vocation,

this is mine.  

Praise God from whom all blessings come!
