Little is much.

I saw a sign in a coffee house a while ago that read, "Little is much when God is in it."  The phrase has stuck with me ever since.  Remember the widow who gave all she had?

"Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd put their money in the treasury.  Many rich people threw in large amounts.  But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny.  Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.  They all gave out their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything--all she had to live on." Mark 12: 41-44

Little is much indeed.  Our savior came into the world as a baby born in a barn.  He rode into Jerusalem on a lowly donkey.  His word reminds us over and over what mountains can be moved with even the tiniest bit of faith. 

If you're feeling that what you have right now isn't enough--time, money, faith, patience--put God in it.  Out of our greatest poverty comes His greatest riches. 

You are loved, friends.  In plenty or in want.  You are loved.

XOXO...Kelly
