It’s the Little Things… 

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's all too easy to get caught up in the grand pursuits, the significant achievements, and the momentous milestones. Yet, when we pause and take a closer look, it becomes evident that it's the little things that often hold the most profound meaning and impact in our lives. 

These "little things" can take on various forms—a warm smile from a child, the comforting embrace of a loved one, the colours woven in nature’s tapestry, or even a well-brewed cup of tea on a chilly morning. These seemingly insignificant moments have a remarkable power to bring us joy, solace, love and a sense of connection. 

It's easy to overlook these moments, dismissing them as inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.  Yet it is important that we acknowledge the quiet beauty of the ordinary and the remarkable power these moments hold. 

As I reflect on the little things that count in life, I am reminded that no matter what our work, to touch the lives of another has a profound impact on those we encounter and ourselves.  Just as Jesus touched and shaped the lives of others through his words and interactions, we too have the capacity to touch the lives of those we encounter. 

Let us not underestimate the impact of a kind word, a genuine smile, or a moment of stillness. For in these unassuming instances, we discover the true essence of life and the little things that truly count.
