The little jobs count big

Today I go to pray for teachers and classrooms at Northlake Christian Academy. We have a teacher who works there and it is a fine, fine activity. Last year I was moved beyond words by the prayer requests and the tears shed.

It reminds me that we all have a "job" to do and that as the song says we everything we do we do for the one who made us, cause he made us. We don't need big duties, big moments. Little moments done as well as they can be done are just as important.

The Bible says, "If you preach, just preach God's Message, nothing else; if you help, just help, don't take over; if you teach, tick to your teaching. If you give encouraging guidance, be careful you don't get bossy; if you're in charge, don't manipulate; if you're called to give aid to people in distress, keep your eyes open and be quick to respond; if you work with the disadvantaged, don't let yourself get irritated with them or depressed by them. Keep a smile on your face."

Do everything you do to the best. Today's them.
