A chocolate chip cookie made a big difference. It’s true. At the end of a shift where a lot of unusual and extra challenging things had occurred, a sweet nurse I was giving report to offered me a warm chocolate chip cookie that she had just baked. That little cookie and the kindness behind it lifted my spirits.
“We are participants in great things sometimes, but more often than not we’re participants in the small and beautiful things. It is in these small and often imperceptible ways that the kingdom (of God) is manifested. It is put on display, because it’s different than the world around it, and it’s animated by this love and centricity of human beings in this world and the importance they bear.”
– Michael Craven

“Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up.” (Galatians 6:9)
Little things can make a big difference.
