THANK YOU LORD I HEARD THE PHONE
I heard a new song, Dream Small,
by Josh Wilson and I thought, “What? I
thought we were to dream big. Strive to
achieve our wildest dream.” This song
said just the opposite.
Dream Small
(excerpts)
It’s a momma singing
songs about the Lord --- It’s a daddy spending family time
Simple moments change
the world --- Little ways
It’s visiting the
widow --- Dancing on a Friday
Don’t bother like
you’ve gotta do it all
Jesus use you where
you are
Dream Small

THANK YOU LORD I HEARD THE PHONE
--
The sweeper makes a lot of noise
but I thought I heard the phone ring.
Yes, it was ringing and thank you Lord I heard the phone. A friend and I talked for 45 minutes as she
told about her husband being in the hospital.
He is taking chemo, his white count was down and his fever was up. I listened.
I asked how she was doing. I
listened. Dream small: Thank you Lord I did not miss a phone call
from a friend.
THANK YOU LORD THE MORNING WAS
FREE --
A gal I have been friends with
for years called. You must know, we have
shopped, laughed, bowled, shared many meals, and she was there when I got
stopped for shop lifting. (A story for
another day but she stood outside the store and laughed. She also laughed when I got stopped for
speeding on the way home. Yes, we are
still friends.) “What are you doing
Friday?” It depends. What do you need and what time, because we
have plans that evening? “I need a ride
to a doctor’s appointment at 10:00.” Can
do! I will pick you up at 9:00. Dream small:
Thank you Lord I could be available to do a small favor.
THANK YOU LORD I HAVE THE TIME --
“Mom, want to spend time with Tim
on Tuesday?” What does he have on
Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning? “Nothing.”
How about I pick him up Tuesday morning and bring him back Wednesday
around 1:00? I have to be your way both
days. “That works.” Time with a grandson who does not yet know he
will be helping clean house! Dream
small: Thank you Lord I have time to
share.

Dream small? Simple moments change the world? Maybe this song makes more sense than what I
first thought.
I will never make a tremendous difference
in the world like Mother Teresa. I will
never be heard by millions and millions like Billy Graham. I will never …..
BUT I can listen to a
friend. A small thing. I can help a friend. A little thing. I can enjoy a grandson. A simple thing.
In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes
their steps.
Proverbs 16:9
Three phone calls. Each with a simple request. Thank you Lord I heard the phone.
