Do not
despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.
- Zechariah 4:10a (NLT)
Babies
are tiny.
Tiny fingers. Tiny toes. Tiny cries in the middle of the night that somehow completely change your entire world forever.
But they don’t stay tiny for long.
Today, I want to give a happy birthday shout out to my youngest son. I hope your day is as blessed as you made mine the day you came into this world. It feels impossible sometimes how quickly the years move. One minute you are rocking a baby to sleep, and the next you are wondering where all that time went.
Life has taught me something important though: the little moments are usually the ones that matter most.
Sometimes we think only the giant milestones count. The promotions. The big celebrations. The dramatic life-changing moments. But most of life is built from small things that quietly shape our hearts over time.
A text message from the right person on a hard day.
A hug that lasts a little longer than expected.
A prayer whispered when someone is hurting.
Someone remembering your name.
Hearing the exact worship song you needed at the exact right moment.
Someone simply sitting beside you while life hurts.
Small things become holy things.
One of my favorite movie quotes comes from Steel Magnolias:
“I would rather have thirty minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.”
I love that line because life is not measured only in years or accomplishments. Sometimes the most meaningful moments are brief, ordinary, and easy to overlook if we are not paying attention.
Jesus often worked through small things too — loaves and fishes, mustard seeds, simple conversations, gentle touches.
Never underestimate what God can do through one small act of love.
The little things matter more than we realize.
