CAST IN THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS "President Roosevelt (1858-1919), the 26th President of the United States had this to say; “The true Christian is the true citizen, lofty of purpose, resolute in endeavor, ready for a hero’s deeds, but never looking down on his task because it is cast in the day of small things; scornful of baseness, awake to his own duties as well as to his rights, following the higher law with reverence, and in this world doing all that in his power lies, so that when death comes he may feel that mankind is in some degree better because he lived”. What a noble thought! Reading the words “never looking down on his task because it is cast in the day of small things” reminded me of the talk given by Dieter Uchtdorf a few years ago when he said “When we seek to serve others, we are motivated not by selfishness but by charity. This is the way Jesus Christ lived His life..."... finding faithful members to serve in the Bishops storehouse is difficult. It...receives little praise of men but is vital in building up the kingdom. Administering to the poor is the noblest of all the calls a person can receive. The storehouse is where Jesus would have been found on most days. And so, I believe the real test of a follower of Christ is how we perform in tasks that are “cast in the day of small things”.
