Yes, small things

with great love

Making the bed for my mom

How can I make it so

she is comfortable and

gets the sleep she needs

Making her lunch

How can I make it

just the way she likes it

When she is in pain

How can I let her

know she isn't alone

When she is frightened

How can I help her

experience the peace of Jesus

Yes, small acts of kindness

yet with much love

What can we do today

to show great love with

our small acts of kindness

in our ministries and families this day?

How can we bring the most

sacred love of Jesus

in the simple daily communication

and tasks within our daily life?

Even washing dishes

reminds us of the baptism of Jesus

as the water rushes through our hands

The sun rises and we have

a new day to see life as a gift

and remember all Jesus has

done for us and his wonderful mercy

May we bring the mercy we

have been given to others

Amen
