And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men.— I THESS. iii, 12.

If any little word of mine May make a life the brighter, If any little song of mine May make a heart the lighter, God help me speak the little word, And take my bit of singing, And drop it in some lonely vale To set the echoes ringing.

If any little love of mine May make a life the sweeter, If any little care of mine May make a friend's the fleeter, If any lift of mine may ease The burden of another, God give me love and care and strength To help my toiling brother.

It is the way we do the little things that shows how we will do the great ones.

Remember that if the opportunities for great deeds should never come, the opportunity for good deeds is renewed for you day by day. The thing for us to long for is the goodness, not the glory.
