The young professional’s car door swung open as he sprinted toward the object in the road. Grabbing it, he swung around and took off for the duck pond. This could only mean one thing; a turtle’s entire week’s work had been erased in 30 seconds. Oh, and the turtle would live to make risky decisions another day.
From the life of Christ and his passion for the seemingly tiny things like giving a cup of cold water, sharing a single lunch and mustard seed-sized faith sounds this recurring theme: small is beautiful.
Perhaps God is most impressed when we as Mother Teresa phrased it “Do small things with great love“ Maybe the heavenly crowd of witnesses rejoice most loudly when we walk away from gossip, hold the door for a stranger or congratulate someone when they receive the thing we most wanted. I imagine each tiny kindness a pearl God strings together.
Perhaps God is also elated when we notice His tiny acts of grace and beauty. The perfect sky, daily bread, the bluest eyes in an octogenarian. The symphony of our concurrent noticing and imagining we are being noticed by our creator is just about the most beautiful way to spend a day.
