Small Things

We lead small people, and small things are what we are about. Whenever you do things in children’s ministry it’s a small version of ‘big church’, but often it is the small things that make the difference.

A brief news item told how an express package from England came to a South African town. The man to whom the box was consigned refused to pay the delivery charges, and for about fourteen years the box was used as a footstool in the express office. The consignee died, and later the box was put up at auction with other unclaimed articles. Out of curiosity a man bid it in at a low price.

When he opened it he was greatly surprised to find several thousand pounds of sterling in English banknotes. Because the consignee had refused to pay comparatively trifling delivery charges, he had missed a considerable fortune.

Point: Don’t miss out on the blessing because you didn’t want to pay the price.

You don’t know what little thing may just unearth a massive harvest.

Termites destroy more property than do earthquakes. More fires are caused by matches and cigarettes than by volcanoes.
