FROM REMNANTS TO MASTERPIECES

"The people who are in danger of missing life's great meaning are the people of ordinary capacity and opportunity, and who say to themselves, 'There is so little I can do that I will not try to do anything.

"One of the finest windows in Europe was made from the remnants an apprentice boy collected from the cuttings of his master's work."

A.B. Simpson (1843-1919)
Days of Heaven Upon Earth
p. 23/Nook

I could so easily fall into the trap of thinking my "one talent" isn't worth much. But in doing so, how much richness of life would I miss?

This young man made a masterpiece from remnants. I've seen stunning quilts made from scraps. And Jesus told the disciples to gather the leftovers after He'd fed the thousands. My friend, whatever you have--IT MATTERS! Use it for your joy and God's glory.

EverGrowing,
