\u201cIf you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones.\u201d<\/span> – <\/span>LUKE 16:10 NLT<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The other day, I woke up feeling really worn out. I hadn\u2019t exercised in a few<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>days, work was piling up, my attention was naturally being drawn to the news,<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>to my kids\u2019 school, and to my messy house. I started a workout and gave a halfway<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>effort while I thought – maybe I need more protein, maybe I should clean my house,<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>maybe I should take a day off . . . or maybe life was just tiring?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And then, I looked upstairs and started thinking about my kids. If I can\u2019t pinpoint<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>the source of feeling worn out, how can they express how they\u2019re feeling? So<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>I walked upstairs and I cleaned their rooms. Yep. I did the whole thing for each<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>one of them. I turned down their beds. I turned on the dim \u201clittle lights\u201d next<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>to their beds. I put their favorite stuffed animals on their pillows.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If we feel overwhelmed sometimes, our children must definitely be feeling overwhelmed, only
with fewer words and less understanding. If we can do anything at all to soften the difficulties
of daily life, let us do it. What a beautiful way to spread love – to create delight -to love and
serve unconditionally, just as God loves us. Whatever the day held for them, my little ones
crawled into fresh sheets, their favorite stuffed animals nearby, in clean rooms, lit just right. It
was a little thing, but I could tell it meant a lot.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a small, tangible way can you create delight or comfort for your<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>family today? Is there something you could do for yourself today to<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>bring an ounce more joy into the day-to-day?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
