Little things in Life

If any little word of Ours,
Can make one life the brighter,
If any little song of ours, Can make one heart the lighter,
God help us speak that little word,
And take our bit of singing,
and drop it in some lonely vale,
and set the echoes ringing.

Striking the same chimes

"A man sat and listened to an organist playing a beautiful melody. He said that behind the organ he cld see a man striking upon bells the same notes the organ was playing. So in addition to the tones of the organ were the tones of the chimes, forming a beautiful accompaniment. Prayer is like that--it means we are striking the same notes as God. We thus become a part of a universal harmony--the music of the spheres. Our litle notes are caught up and universalised. Prayer puts us in tune with the Infinite, and then Infinite power works through our finiteness.
Milton summed it up when he said, 'By small accomplishing great things'.
