Small {Five Minute Friday}

It's Monday, but I'm sure it's still allowed. I need all the practice I can get!

Five Minute Friday

Small

“From a tiny acorn, the mighty oak tree grows”.

The smallest things are the most powerful. My favourite film is Horton Hear a Who. It’s silly and it’s about elephants so it gets marks for that. But it also tells the story of something tiny, and how that made a huge difference to two worlds. An elephant hears a cry coming from a tiny ‘speck’ and discovers that a whole world of people live there. It changes everything for him; he goes from being a happy-go-lucky take-it-or-leave-it spirit to somebody with determination and purpose. He changes a whole community, and rescues another.

I have started small things. I launched a youth group that saw 2 young people to 4 leaders for a whole term. Less than a year on it is still not huge, but I’ve heard people talk about it on the street. Could we change a community?

  1. Yes, you could change a community. One heart at a time. Praying that God continues to use you in a mighty way.

  2. Becca! I was also a Five Minute Monday poster. Love that movie and the 'little guy/thought/thing wins big' storyline every time.
