Little Things Mean Alot

Away back in 1954 (I was still a teenager) Kitty Kallen had a hit single: Little Things Mean Alot. I loved that song then and I still do. I memorized the words long ago; I want to share them with you today:

Throw me a kiss from across the room;

And say I look nice when I'm not.

Touch my hair when you pass my chair.

Little things mean a lot.

Give me your arm as we cross the street.

Call me at six on the dot.

A line a day when you're far away.

Little things mean a lot.

Don't have to buy me diamonds and pearls,

champagne, sable, or such;

Hey, I've never cared much for diamonds and pearls.

Oh! Promise me, Honey; they just cost money.

Give me your hand when I've lost my way.

Give me your shoulder to cry on.

Whether the day is sunny of grey,

Give me your heart to rely on.

Send me the warmth of a secret smile.

Show me you haven't forgot.

For always and ever, now and forever,

Little things mean alot.

Well, the Bible tells us that...Little Things Mean A Lot also.

For who has despised the day of small things. 

Zech 4:10

Little things often seem unimportant to us but if we take time to think about it they actually are the spice of life, and it's a huge mistake to overlook them. What is a main course without the savor of those special spices? All to often we try to show our loved ones how much we care for them with hard work and devotion to the big needs they have. This is needful but there is no greater for need for any of us than unconditional love that is so often expressed in such little ways.

God himself knows and understands this and says it so well in 1 Corinthians 13:1-2.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,

and have not love,

I am become as sounding brass or tinkling cymbal.

And though I have the gift of prophecy,

and though I have all faith,

so that I could remove mountains,

and have not love,

I am nothing.

I think it may be time for me to spice up my life a bit by paying more attention to the "little things" cause they surely do the big job of expressing His love better than any other thing.

Now that's what the whole world needs.

God Bless Your Day, in Jesus' precious name.
Amen.
