SERVICE
IN SMALL THINGS

All service ranks the same with God.

Robert Browning

To take up the cross of Christ is no great action done once for all; it consists in the continual practice of small duties which are distasteful to us.

J.H. Newman

Remember that there must be someone to cook the meals, and count yourselves happy in being able to serve like Martha.

Teresa of Avila

Small service is true service while it lasts:

Of humblest friends, bright creature, scorn not one:

The daisy, by the shadow that it casts,

Protects the lingering dew-drop from the sun.

William Wordsworth, verse written for a small child
