SMALL AND SIMPLE THINGS

almost daily i ponder
by SMALL and SIMPLE things
are great things brought to
pass...alma 37:6

i have heard it said
that the SMALL and SIMPLE
is 
(arctic circle thinks so as well)

only one could possibly know of the
great things i stand in need of
i am perplexed
what are the SMALL things 
that will bring about the great
blessings i desperately need?
how about the society page?
a voluntary act from a woman in my ward
out of the goodness of her heart
not out of obligation or calling

the newsletter contains:
agenda for the day
notes from last week's lesson
the monthly primary theme
young women activities
important dates and events
a recipe
inspirational thought
visiting teaching message
"good news minutes" shared
birthdays of everyone in the ward
all on the double sided pink page
she copies and delivers them
it is something that everyone looks forward too
that one SMALL  act and idea is
a great big deal
to a whole lot of people
everyone is kept in the loop
a few times, i was out of town
and by golly if the
newsletter didn't appear on my email
thanks sherry
for the difference that you make!
or the student that takes a trip to germany
and thinks about me while she is gone
how do i know she thought of me?
she brought me home a SMALL token of her vacation
which put a huge smile on my heart
(and in my tummy)
sage made a difference
there is an everlasting list
of people who have been about SMALL acts
producing great outcomes
thanks to you all

what SMALL things can i add?

what are yourSMALL things
that make the great things possible?
