She was deaf, dumb and blind but her insights were greater than many who could see. So Helen Keller who some thought would never do anything and would always be a nothing wrote with positive application “The million little things that drop into our hands, the small opportunities each day brings…”

And she saw them and she did them.

There are 1.7 trillion stars for every living human being. The ratio between the two is therefore 1.7 trillion to one. And then we remember that we are made in the image of God.

And because of this we are called to do and be masters of a thousand small but important deeds rather than waste our time doing nothing because we thought some deeds to small to do.

Indeed, small things done with great love or giants and can and do change the world.

It is a true story.

A man was sea sick. He felt like doing nothing.

He heard that a man, in the blackness of the night, had fallen overboard and he felt like doing nothing about it. He was half a sleep and he wanted to go back to sleep.

But instead he laid hold of a light and held it up to a port-hole. He had also been sea sick and he felt like doing nothing but he did this little thing anyway.

After the man who fell overboard was saved rather than drowned.

Afterwards, he said that as he was going down for the last time he held up his hand…and when he did…a light from a port hole fell on that hand…and men looking into the darkness; so his hand and grabbed it and pulled him to safety in the lifeboat.

To the sea sick man who was so sick he wanted to do nothing, holding a light up to a port hole seemed such a small and perhaps even useless thing…but he did it anyway.

And this is you and I…looking at some small opportunity and not being in the mood or being too tired or feeling that what we have thought to do is too small to think anymore about…and decide to do nothing.

And when we do nothing…nothing happens…and nothingness reigns…and the world is worse for it.
