Little things matter

I just saw a piece of trivia that makes me smile. It reminds us that in a world where we look for bigger to be better, little things do matter. In 1713, there was a club in London for men who were under five feet tall. It was called the Little men's club. They would meet once a year on the shortest day of the year at the restaurant called the Little Piazza. Their dinner for the evening was not a huge steak or super-sized meal, instead they were to dine on a meal of ....you guessed it....shrimp! It's the little things that count.
Sometimes in faith, we look for the big moments that show us God's presence. But we shouldn't forget that God comes to us in small things too. Remember Jesus teaching about the widow's mite. It was small, but mighty David who slew Goliath. And it was our savior, the King of Creation, who was born as a tiny baby in a little town called Bethlehem. How is God using the little things in our lives to be present to us? How can we pay more attention to the small things that do indeed matter?
