Where do you let your life take you each day? Do you let the things that everyone thinks are important make your decisions? Or do you have trust in a bigger picture? Interesting to think about, isn’t it?
It’s the Little Things we do
That add up one by one.
That will add up to a Big Thing
When our life is said and done.
Little smiles and little hugs,
Kind words to those we meet.
How we treat our family
And those with little feet.
The truth that hides within our hearts
When we serve those in our life –
Was it truly with the love we said?
Or bitter, prideful strife?
What we said when we were right
And someone else was wrong.
How we treated people
From a different thinking throng.
The effort that we put in
Those callings that are “small”
That someday we will find out
Weren’t simply “small” at all.
Little thing by little thing –
They add up one by one,
And take us far from God above
Or more just like His Son.
So, what will the little things
Build up high for you? –
That you will find there waiting
When with God, your life you view.
For me, I’ll take the little things,
And choose to be like Him.
Choose to live my life with love,
And not so much with sin.
And then the thing that I will find,
I’ve built when life is done,
Is a mansion of my Father’s
That I have humbly won.
