Little Things Mean ALOT!
Yesterday morning during our coffee shop time before church one of the little boys came in with a sack full of jonquils that he had picked. He had carefully picked them, wrapped the stems of each one with colored paper. His goal, his heart and his misson was to give every lady at Life House a flower yesterday. He came in the front door and started handing them out immediately. He did it with little fanfare. He didn’t make it a big production…he simply would get a flower out of his bag and hand it to a lady. No big speech, “look what I did’s” but rather a simple little act that totally blessed our ladies. He was a HIT with them. The ladies at Life House were really touched by this little act of thoughtfulness from an 8 year old boy. Many times we want to be involved in GREAT ministries, GREAT productions and GREAT events. Many times we want to make sure everyone SEES US and gives us the appreciation we feel we deserve for every act we seek to do. This little boy sure taught several of us a lesson….little things mean alot. That little boy couldn’t have given out $100 bills and made a bigger impression or touched the heart of our ladies like he did with the simple act of giving a beautiful yellow field flower to them. Great sermon…just wish I had preached it instead of him!!! LOL Keep preaching by your love and life…those are the sermons people remember. Pastor James

Awesome! I have a feeling that God took those flowers and multiplied the blessings to the people’s lives, just like he multiplied the bread and fish. Who knows but that a lady walked in feeling like no one cared about her or her life…and God uses a little boy to make a difference.
No wonder Jesus tells us to become as a child.

This brought tears to my eyes. Why does it take a litle child to really “get it” when it comes to love and ministry? Thanks for sharing this blessing.
