Not only is it for us to enjoy the little things in life, but also doing little things to help others. As I was talking with my mentor, she mentioned how Saint Therese of Lisieux did not help in big ways, but served God in small ways, which in return made a big effect in the long run! Therese was know as "The Little Flower" and had shown people the way of perfection in the small things of every day life. Isn't that incredible? Not to mention that she was only 8 years old when this all started. Even though she couldn't contribute in big ways, she still made an effort to help! So next time you see that kid who always sits alone at lunch,don't hesitate to invite them over or even a simple smile and hello may just make their day! The little things is not only for you to enjoy, but for you to spread the happiness with others as well!Your little ways, may have big effects in people's lives! Make the little things count :)
"Nothing is small in the eyes of God.
Do all that you do with love."
- St. Therese of Lisieux

Beautifully written! St. Therese is an incredible example of how to live as a young person. She died at the age of 24, so all of the writings and amazing pearls of wisdom come from the beautiful mind and heart of a young lady not unlike yourself! Her "little way" is one where any person (old, young, rich, poor, etc.) can serve God by living his or her life and performing all tasks with love and obedience no matter how small or insignificant it might seem! G-Anne! I am so excited to see where this project takes you, and I am thrilled that you asked me to be a part of it! <3
