Small triumphs: knowing that your action won’t, of itself, change the outcome, but doing it anyway; one step and then one step; understanding that line by line the poem is written, brush stroke by brush stroke the painting is done.
Large hearts: the character of generosity; caring for the other as much as you care for yourself; going out of your way to do what is good and right; in the Way of Jesus.
My heros are not the people who make the headlines, but the ones who quietly, and with determination, do unto others, go the extra mile, offer the cup of cold water in the heat of the moment, think more of us than me. We need heros right now in a time when we seem to have lost our way in this complex and confusing world. If there was ever a time to “be Christ in the world”, this is it.
Remember the old line we were taught in typing class: “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country”? How many times have I written that line as a way to make my fingers nimble over the keyboard! Read it again and change the words “good men” to “all of us.” Lord Jesus, give me courage to try and strength to do it.
Press on!
