I enjoyed this thought this morning and thought I would share it. We so often get caught up in the idea of success. I sometimes wander what life would be like if I did such or the other and only in recent months have decided that I need not be well known or do anything huge to be of value.
Value
Things are to be valued not for their bigness or littleness, but for their ability to perform the task for which they were made.
A tiny screw in a precious watch is less admired than its jewels and precious metals. And yet the running of the watch may depend more on the screw than on the jewels or metals. God loves the man who knows how to value his achievement in life, and sees it as his participation in God's total work of creation.
Such a man is at peace with himself and others because he is content with his portion of reality and his opportunity to make that portion useful.
