THEY ALSO SERVE WHO EXPRESS THEIR LOVE IN LITTLE THINGS

 
The scope of service is not limited to great gestures like giving big donations to public institutions. They also serve who express their love in little things. A word that gives courage to a drooping heart or a smile that brings hope and cheer in gloom, has as much claim to be regarded as service as onerous sacrifices and heroic self-denials.

A glance which wipes out bitterness from the heart and sets it throbbing with a new love is also service, although there may be no thought of service in it. When taken by themselves all these things seem to be small, but life is made up of many such small things. If these small things were ignored life would be not only unbeautiful but unspiritual.
