Adding more to my recent post, I have a few more thoughts to share. God is really into small things. Singular things. Individual things. Really.

He started with one Earth. He placed one man and one woman in one garden. Sin came through one and atonement by One. Salvation is a decision made one at a time. Faith also is singular. He is three in One (unity with diversity). God is excited about the number one. To God, one is a very big number.

Mother Teresa once said, "There are no great things, only small things with great love." Small is good. Loving your own little family is enough, when done with love and not resentment that you could have done more or been more "if only..."

I don't think Mrs. Washington knew what her son would become, but I believe she put her all into his training. I am not sure the mothers of George Mueller, Christopher Columbus or Moses really knew they were destined for great things. I believe they were simply raising their children to the best of their ability. Our children may not go on to so such outwardly great things as these men, but they can be as great in character, nonetheless. A man may not be in the position to birth a nation, but he can be of equal character.

Also Ms. Dang defines Christianity as "the power of Christ at work in the life of the individual." When we understand all we are responsible for is our little works, we are free to do those works. And when they are added together, they result in a great work. America will not be restored with a massive revival, it will be restored by thousands of families training their children in their own homes. And together we will accomplish what we seem to look to great leaders to do. The nation must change one family at a time.

Be not weary in well-doing. Hang in there and do your small works with great love. Loving people is no small thing. For in the end there is great reward, here on earth and in the life to come. And when God is in it, a small thing is really not so smalll after all.
