Do Something

Sometimes the end can seem so far away. The goal can be so huge that it seems impossible to attain. (That's not just me, right?)

But you get there the same way you eat an elephant. One bite at a time.

Minute by minute you live your day for Jesus.

Minute by minute you do the small things that add up over time. The fifteen minutes of exercise, the thirty minutes of piano practice, the instruction in the alphabet and numbers, the memorizing of Scripture.

Think about your goals: obedient children, a new song learned, a clean house, a new skill mastered.

You don't have to do it all today.

But do something.

Train in obedience in the little moments.

Practice the same three measures of the song.

Clean the bathrooms. Sweep the floor.

Don't try to do it all or you might just do nothing.

You don't have to do it all today.

But you do have to do something.
