The Small Big Things

I had one of those special moments tonight. I walked in on Amy reading with the boys at bed time. She was letting Trip help her read. He was able to read almost every second word (at least every third word). Who would've known that watching a 5 year old read could be so rewarding? I always expected that Trip would someday read. He's a smart kid, so it doesn't come as a surprise. Nevertheless, this small thing was very big for me. It wasn't even about the reading itself. It was about all that that moment means. Call it fatherly pride or whatever, but it occurred to me how fortunate I am. Two great children. A wife who cares so much that she takes time to teach all sorts of things to our children. I could go on and on.

Trip, I'm proud of you buddy!
God, thanks for the big, small things!

Romans 10:14-15

Romans 10:9
...if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed."

Romans 14-15
How then shall they call upon Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a messenger?...For it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the Good News."

I get great joy out of being a messenger!

Which are you?

I ran across this on Daily Cup of Tech. I thought it was great. Which one represents how easy you make it for the people in your life that you serve (your customers, your spouse, your children, etc.)?
