“One of the deep secrets of life is that all that is really worth doing is what we do for others” — Lewis Carroll
And there is a place somewhere I imagine,
where all of the small things are really quiet large.
Where one small word has the power to change hearts.
Where one word of gratitude changes perspective, forever.
Where one apology heals the broken and restores love.
Where a word of encouragement mends a fence between a mother and a child.
Where a small meal is like a feast at a banquet when family gathers around.
Where one phrase spoken in love and compassion brings healing between friends.
Where one sign of hope restores faith.
Where one moment of silence can restore peace in the soul.
Where one small prayer uttered in faith tethers the heart of a believer to her God.
Where one simple thing in all the world points a searching world to God’s Grace, God’s Mercy, and God’s Love.
