Little drops of water, little grains of sand,
Make a mighty ocean, in this bounteous land.....
So the little moments, humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages of eternity. (song from my childhood)
( J. A. Carney)
Ever feel small and insignificant?
Ever feel like your contribution is but a drop in the ocean?
Ever feel like what you can do is a speck on infinite sands?
And does it sometimes feel like you have been left behind?
The earth is immense. The heavens even greater.
But take heart; He sees, for He has said.
It's easy at times to feel like we can't change the world. Then I remember it isn't as much what we're doing... but how we're doing it, and for Who.
We can do no great things. Only small things......with great love. (Mother Teresa)

Hugs to you my sweet friend xoxo

Oh yes Lucy, sometimes I do feel this way. Today when I was giving a donation to those in need, I thought to myself, "how can that small donation ever help and will it even get to them." Thank you for the gentle reminder that God sees ALL. I loved all the pictures on here today, they were beautiful.
