The Value of a Small Deed

Reading: Mark 4:26-32 - A man followed by a small band of misfits, fishermen, a tax collector and a zealot: not quite the picture of a glorious kingdom that will take over the whole world, and will continue to grow and expand forever ... but it will! Likewise, a call, a letter, a kind act, a donation: they are not quite something you would expect to change the world, but they are. No small deed is without fruit. Even when for a time we are unable to see it, it keeps growing until it produces fruit and multiplies many times over.
