In this life we cannot always do great things. But we can do small things with great love.

Megan, I looove this! I’ve written a piece about this same topic! I’ve been going through the same things. I’m also helping my Mom a lot, and I’m glad I’m not the only one!
Thank you so much for sharing!

That was really good. I’m glad God led you to address something that so many of us are struggling with.

First of all, thank you guys for all the encouraging comments. I’m so glad God was able to use my small words to bless you.

You asked what to “do in the meantime”, what to do with the pent-up ache. I can’t really say; I’m not an expert in this at all, and I’m struggling with it too. But I believe that we are not to give up our dreams or desires of serving God in big ways, and perhaps we should even keep bringing it up with God - is it time yet? - and such. But instead of fretting, I think He wants us to be content with where He’s put us and work actively to serve Him in the small things, recognizing that they have worth and are not simply killing time.

That was mind blowing for me! I’m always worrying if I’m in the right place, and thinking I need to do more for my higher education, etc. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!

Thanks so much! It helps to be reminded that the small things we do for God count just as much in God’s eyes as the big things.

Meagan,
Your article touched me exactly where I am. I am doing nothing earth shattering, and I don’t have fame or fortune with through which to minister. But I am living actively serving my church, my family, friends, and looking into the face of God. Yes I long for the big things, but they are most likely for later in my life. Like Christ, I must learn to be faithful in small things before great ones. Thanks for reminding me of that!
