“O Father of all grace: when I follow the daily life of the Lord Jesus Christ and see what was important to Him, it makes me ashamed that I think so little of “little things”. If they were important to Him, it sure should be important to me. In every act and action of His life, He seemed to be able to bring in something for God. I want to do this too. I need grace to listen to what people don’t say as well as what they do say. They need Thee in every part of their life. Help me to help them understand the value of everyday things in everyday life. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
