But it brings up this thought for me....
So many moments of living... so many opportunities..... so many decisions....
How do you know which ones mean the most?
How do we know which ones matter the most?
What really matters?
Probably we can all agree that time flies and days become years.
Probably we can all agree that each day is important and a gift.
Probably we can all agree that the little things matter.
But still, do you ever stop and wonder.... does it really matter?
Borrowing from a great writer, musician, and man.... Steven Curtis Chapman, I share these words:
“Little stuff, big stuff, in-between stuff
God sees it all the same
And while I may not know you
I bet I know you wonder sometimes does it matter at all
Well, let me remind you it all matters ........... ”
Yes, it all matters. Even the tiny details that seem so repetitious matter. Even the moments that seem so mundane matter. Even the efforts that seem so unproductive matter. It all matters. Wherever you are.... whatever you are doing..... it all matters.
Sometimes, we get caught in doubt or frustration.... and wonder if what we do really matters. We may feel small. We may feel insignificant. We may feel trite. Maybe it is just the big successes like a cure for polio, maybe it is just the big decisions like whether or not to drop the bomb, maybe it is just the historic accomplishments like serving as President that really matter. Maybe it is only the song sung on an arena stage that matters. Maybe it is only the words written in a best seller that matter.
Don’t be fooled. Don’t be caught up in that foolishness..... because:
It all matters!
One word....
One breath....
One moment....
One action.....
Can change the course of your life, our lives and the world!
One word....
One breath....
One moment....
One action.....
Is the reality of your life!
Have faith. Be sure and pay attention because it all matters.
Think for a moment how different our world would be if.....
Our minds don’t have to travel through very many of the current news items, world situations, or scandals to know for sure... every moment, every choice.... IT ALL MATTERS!
There is only one of you. There is only one of today. It all matters!
So I close with some more words from Chapman (and if you want to hear them all.... they are from the song “Do Everything” from the album “Do Everything” released August 2011.... and the video can be viewed from youtube as well).
With every move you make and every little thing you do....
tell the story of grace with every move you make!
It is every little thing that you do!
