It's the little things...

My husband took two of the kids to their 'end of the softball season' team party tonight. And even though he only took two children with him, the volume in the house is noticeably lower. It amazes me how the entire dynamic changes with just one small change (two kids out of the house for a while). It got me thinking... isn't this true for most things? If you make a small change in the way your eat, doesn't it make a larger change in say a year or so? If you say something nice to someone, you could make their entire day. And if you read one bible verse today, aren't you one verse closer to reading the entire bible? You get the point. I just think that is so encouraging. When you think of things in this way... that what you do is a small part of a much bigger picture and it makes a difference... it makes it a little easier to get through the ups and downs in life.
