"Father, where shall I work today?"
And my love flowed warm and free.
He pointed out a tiny spot and said,
"Tend that place for me."
I answered him quickly,
"Oh, no! Not that!
Why no one would ever see,
No matter how well my work was done;
not that little place for me!"
The word he spoke, then, wasn't stern.
He answered me tenderly;
"Nazareth was a little place.
And so was Galilee."

Mark, I just needed to read this today. I put it on my blog so I can be reminded from time to time that what those of us that serve in little places serve a Big God. Thanks for posting this.
