The world is moved not only by the mighty shoves of the heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.
- Helen Keller
No matter how small and insignificant you feel, simply remember, you are doing more than you feel that you are doing. If everyone quit pushing, no matter how small the push, nothing would ever be accomplished. Few heroes ever changed the world, it is the small touch: a mother brushing the tears away from her child, the hug from a friend, a kiss from your lover. These small seemingly insignificant pushes or touches are what keeps people going.
YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR WORLD WITH JUST ONE SMALL PUSH AT A TIME! KEEP PUSHING!!

Babe Jana--For you, yes, that is what i meant!! OH WHAT JOY!
How true your words. It is in the small things that we find challenges that move us forward.
Hi Brian, Great post. You won't get me to stop talking about what I think the church should be doing. Christians should be leaders not followers. So why isn't there a huge outcry against this was and for health care and such?
Helen--While I certainly agree that the war should stop and that we need health care implementation etc., churches, for the most part, are strangled by IRS regulations. If a church or a church organization begins to politicize its pulpits then the IRS will remove the churches 501c.3. status of non-profit.
I think more churches would like to get into the political arena and make demands but they cannot afford to lose their non-profit status. Hence, you do not find many churches, pastors or church leaders that will take that risk. This is one of the reasons that Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor, stepped down or retired so quickly. The church he pastored was about to lose its non-profit status because of his political rhetoric from the pulpit, among other things.
I, honestly, wish that churches could and would step up to the plate, but you see why many will not or are not willing to make that move.
If my memory is working right this morning it is a lot of little things that are equal to a larger out come. Bro. Allard as I was reading your post I could not help but think of a saying. “Do you know how Eskimos eat a whale? One bite at a time.” Just keep taking that small bite and in time the whale is gone. Lots all keep doing the little things that bring the greater out come.
