The Little Things Don’t Seem to Matter Much
Each child of the King has a calling and a place.We each have a part to play in His eternal race.
It sounds so glorious to be a daughter of the King.
But hard to remember the meaning of a thing
Like mopping a floor, making a bed, and such.
These little things just don’t seem to matter much.
There are dishes to wash and seeds to sow.
Laundry piles high and grass must be mowed.
We each often feel like we bear a great load.
So many times Christians struggle to be content.
We need only remember Who our Father sent.
He humbled Himself without murmur or sigh.
Jesus Christ Who is God, did things like these:
He washed dirty feet bowed down on His knees.
Christ fed the hungry, and gave of His time
To minister to wretched souls like yours and like mine.
The next time you think that you labor in vain.
Remember that all things are under His reign.
No task is too small to bring Him great pleasure.
And your reward is glory, forever without measure.
Don’t get discouraged or short tempered today.
Every suffering is worth hearing our Savior say:
“The little things matter very much to Me.”
Work needs done, but soon we will see His majesty.
"They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, this storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life." I Thimothy 6:18-19
"Let each person live the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him." I Corinthains 7:17
"Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all thigns into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going back to God, rose from supper. He laid aside His outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around His waist. Then He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around Him... "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one anothers feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you." John 13:3-15
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed." II Timothy 2:15
Remember Who you serve.

Thanks Becca, I think we all needed that, its a very good reminder.
And it was a really good poem I really liked it.
