Today the UPS truck dropped off a huge package from Operation Christmas Child. I opened it to find a new (read large--4 foot by 4 foot) display board with bigger-than-life pictures of children right there in my living room.
Lots of things in my life seem bigger these days--my job, ministry challenges, and choices to make. I often think how I could make my life a whole lot easier by giving up on some things.
But then I think about how these seemingly simple gift-filled shoeboxes mean so much more to the children who receive them. It's a small thing for me to put together a few more boxes but a large thing for needy kids.
I look at the six-inch grin on this boy's face and think of it multiplied by 9.1 million.
And, once again, I get the big picture.
