Little things

There is a lot going on in this world right now and it can be scary. On a regular day, I sometimes feel that I’m not doing enough. I get so overwhelmed by the things in this world that I can’t change. I have good intentions and try to make all these changes to show compassion and support but quickly become even more overwhelmed by outsiders expectations of me. Tonight as I sat down with my family for dinner, I was overcome with hope.

My children were discussing how yesterday, while my husband was sick in bed and I was off on my 2nd home showing for the day, they had gathered together to study our weekly Sunday School lesson. Without any adults or promptings by an adult, they took the opportunity to gather, study, and pray. This, I thought, is how I can make a change.

To the world, this might not make enough of a difference but this is the 1 thing I can make a change. My priority is to raise these children to be kind, accepting, forgiving, service minded, loving, safe, educated, responsible, prayerful adults. This I can do.
