The Little Things

     We often hear that it is the ‘little’ things that make the biggest difference.  Sometimes the world presents huge problems where there seems to be no direct solution or path to follow.  Remember that little steps add up to a journey, little kindnesses add up to a gift, and little acceptances add up to a friend!

     The following prayer is a beautiful little prayer for ‘charity’.  And, little acts of charity add up to love!

Keep me, O God, from pettiness; let me be large in thought, in word, in deed. Let me be done with fault-finding and self-seeking. May I put away all pretense and meet everyone face to face without self-pity and without prejudice. May I never be hasty in judgment and always generous. Let me take time for all things. Make me grow calm, serene and gentle. Teach me to put into action my better impulses, straightforward and unafraid. Grant that I may realize it is the little things of life that create differences and that in the big things of life we are one. And, O Lord God, let me not forget to be kind!  (http://www.ourcatholicprayers.com/prayer-for-charity.html)
