I was asked to speak at the funeral of a man who had helped develop the Boeing 747 aircraft. After the service I spoke with the widow and commented on what a remarkable thing her late husband had done.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe truth is, he worked on a little switchbox smaller than a loaf of bread,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s all he worked on for fifteen years. But when that 747 lifted off the ground for the first time, it was the happiest day of his life.\u201d<\/p>\n
He worked on a tiny switchbox for more than a decade, yet the Boeing 747 couldn\u2019t have lifted off without this man\u2019s contribution. Often we think our seemingly small efforts aren\u2019t very important. But when the great kingdom of God \u201clifts off,\u201d we\u2019ll be thrilled to find out that our efforts were essential.<\/p>\n
