I look for little opportunities, for the smallest trifles, to please my Jesus: a smile or a kind word, for instance , when I would wish to be silent, or to show that I am bored. If no such occasion offer , I try at least to say over and over again that I love Him. This is not hard, and it keeps alive the fire in my heart. Even should the fire of love seem dead, I would still throw my tiny straws on the ashes, and I am confident it would light up again. – St. Therese of Lisieux
Little Deeds of Love
A glance of kindness
To keep the fire burning
A touch of patience
To keep the love alive
A word of courtesy
A nod of gratitude
A pat of consolation
To uplift the mood
A smile
A quick embrace
A kiss
Never miss one deed.
And you know
That all you need
Are these little things
To keep the love alive.
He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field; which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.” – Matthew 13:31-32 (WEB)
