Faithful in the small things.

“He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.” Luke 16:10

Sometimes it feels like I am putting in a crazy amount of work for a few dozen sheep.
.
.
And, honestly, I kind of am. But my vision extends beyond what I see today.
.
.
If I can be faithful with 25 sheep, then I will have a better chance at success with 250 sheep. Luke 16:10 reminds me of that.
.
.
Likewise, if I fail at 25 sheep, I will also fail at 250 sheep.
.
.
Whether you are taking care of 5 chickens, or a box garden, or 1 cow: do not despise the day of small beginnings.
.
.
How you handle the small things is how you will handle the big ones.
