It is so easy to be overwhelmed with wanting to do the big, that we ignore the small. They really are just as important.
Let us all work on being intentional!

Oh Lisa, the small things CAN be so great can’t they?! We often dismiss them as not being important when often they are huge to someone else. Thanks for sharing your heart!

In reply to Linda@Creekside. Can I just chime into Linda's comment with a hearty AMEN! Such a beautiful, necessary truth here. Thank you Lisa.

I have a sign in my house that says: Enjoy the little things for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. I can already tell it’s true. 🙂

Amen!! A shift needs to occur in what “great” is.

Lisa, your words really spoke to my heart today. I have never thought of aspiring to greatness but we have told some of our children and grandchildren that they could do great things wanting to ensure they had self-confidence and felt affirmed.

I never thought of some of things you listed as being great things, but I see that they are. This week I’ve been taking extra time to email with a granddaughter (our grandson’s fiance), a young mom with 6-month old, and struggling with some mental health issues. Her folks live in CO and so I’m closer than her mom but not close enough to be there in person. She is not comfortable on the phone so we’ve texted alot and used FB for emailing. A couple of times I got frustrated each time I heard my phone go off or the little ding from FB. After reading this post, I won’t feel that way. I know I’m doing something great when I give Nikki my time. Thank you!

That’s a great quote from Tolle. This week I’m grateful to have more small moments to really enjoy my twins now that their older sibs are back in school. Thanks for linking with Unforced Rhythms.

Hello there Lisa. And thanks for this succinct, spot-on post. So true. Made me think of Mother Teresa’s words about doing little things with great love. For without love, all of it — big or small — is nothing. Blessings…
