Little is much

On occasion, I have one of those days where, before I even swing my feet over the edge of the bed in the morning, I feel overwhelmed and discouraged but the prospect of the day that awaits me. This morning was like that. I was still sleeping soundly when the alarm sounded - not off to a good start already! And my "do list" was long and sure to get longer as the day progressed. Ugh. As I drove the kids to school, they seemed oblivious to the responsibilities already draped over my shoulders and cheerfully added their requests and requirements to my ever growing list. After dropping them off, I continued on to pick up my daily pile of transcription work from the office. Absentmindedly and huddled under a dark cloud of negativity, I picked up the new CD that Kayden had left lying on the seat and popped it in. This was not by chance. The song is the song that played called "Little is Much" and I needed to hear this and be encouraged. Here are the lyrics...

What is the measure of a life well lived
If all that I can offer seems too small to give
This is a song for the weaker, the poorer and so-called failures

Little is much when God's in it
And no one can fathom the plans He holds
Little is much when God's in it
He changes the world with the seeds we sow
Little is much, little is much

Who feels tired and under-qualified
Who feels deserted and hung out to dry
This is a song for the broken, the beat up,
And so-called losers

Consider a Kingdom in the smallest seed
Consider that giants fall to stones and slings
Consider a Child in a manger
Consider the story isn't over
What can be done with what you still have


Little is much. Be encouraged.

Mark 12:41-43
