God loves me and is grateful for my service. In His eyes, public fame or even acknowledgement are meaningless. He judges perfectly and awards for secret works of the heart. Her loved ones will often show appreciation for her, but rarely will she ever make headlines for teaching a toddler to tie a shoe. I think of the immense influence and potential of this huge group of women, united in a love of Christ with a desire to help build His kingdom.
Great things happen through small means.
As each of us reaches out to those around us, loving and serving them, a number of people equal in number to us or greater will be blessed. If each of us were to make one friend and treat them as our own, this number would reach the millions. We also personally would be doubly blessed as this new friend began to enrich our lives as well. We may or may not stand on a soap box, calling out to the masses, but if we can encourage each other to serve a friend, we will be reaching far more than our faint voice ever could. I think of Heavenly Father's love for us and His precious little ones with whose care we have been entrusted.
