Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
Lao Tzu
Lao Tzu
We are at a very important beginning with a lot of things changing in our Family and Building. This quote is very applicable because it talks about the beginning of a journey.
At the beginning of most tasks, there are a million different things which seem like they need to be attended to. If you have ever gone on an extended vacation with children, you know exactly what that means. Cups, clothes, swimsuits, diapers, pillows, things to occupy them (so the "are we there yet" comes much later in the trip), your own clothes and toiletries, map/gps, ad infinitum... What happens if one or some of these items are left out? Such as a sippy cup? WAAAAAAA!!!!!! Little things just became a much bigger deal!
What are you doing to help your family today? Little things. Drop a note in your kids lunch telling them how much you love them. Do the dishes. Read a story to your kids. Send a letter of encouragement to your favorite Family member/teacher/elder/friend. Bless someone's day! In the financial world, putting a little money in at the beginning of a good investment makes big rewards later. Do something for someone else, "because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether slave or free." (Eph. 6:8)
Since we are at the first steps in this journey together, every little thing you can do to help would be very appreciated!
