I know that rude, crude and forgetful have become far too often occurrences, but we are Christians. 

          We are supposed to be more loving, more considerate, more forgiving with heavenly goals dancing in our heads.

          We are expected to be able to say thank you with more ease.

          Dare to be different. 

          Grab hold of your destiny of little things and run with it. 

          Dare to let angel-thoughts run wild along the avenues of your soul.  Be nice, even if you have built up a reputation for being grumpy. 

          Smile, even when you don’t feel like it.

          Emerson once wrote, “The hero is no braver than an ordinary man.  He is just brave for five minute longer.”

          Saints are often not that much better than the ordinary individual, they are just better a little longer and a little more often.  One minute at a time, until that minute become an hour, and that hour becomes a day, and that day becomes a lifetime.

          Challenge yourself to be braver, better, wiser, more kind and compassionate - for just one extra minute a day.  Not all day.  Not from morn till night.  Just one minute more.  Then two minutes more and perhaps work up to three.  The power, the overwhelming power, of little things.

          Many argue, “If I can’t make big changes, I will make no changes at all.  If I cannot become perfect, I won’t even try to improve.”  And so, denying the destiny of little things, they become captive of the destiny of nothing.  (No thing.)

          One cynical philosopher musing on the matter wrote, “The pursuit of perfection is frustrating, neurotic and a terrible waste of time.” 

But he missed the point.  Because we do not achieve perfection does not mean we should not pursue excellence.

What must you do to have weeds in your yard?  Nothing.

What must you do to have a house go to wreck and ruin?  Nothing.

What must you do to let a life go to wreck and ruin? 

Nothing.

          But, little by little the weeds can be removed.  Little by little a house can be renovated.  Little by little a life can be put back together again.  Little by little by little some people begin to understand the destiny of little things.

It is what being human is all about.

The constant changing and re-arranging of who we are.  A little more listening to the conscience than talking back to the conscience.
