There is a huge difference in the
capacity between a thimble and a bucket.
Thankfully, life isn’t always measured in capacity.
Quantity is not all that it is cracked up
to be.
How many times have I been embarrassed by
the meager contribution I felt I could offer compared to others in my peer
group?
Remember the parable about the talents in
the Bible?
The one given five turned it into ten.
The one given two turned it into four.
The one given one buried it for fear of
lack and fear of exhausting the supply.
He was the one who was punished. He buried his thimble-full rather than invest
it, share it, and watch it grow.
Believe me, my friend. Your thimble-full contribution is important
and needed. Where would the orbiting
space station be without the smallest set screw doing its job along with the
big swinging arms, the powerful engines, the massive computers, and the
sophisticated communications equipment?
That set screw is pretty powerful in its own right.
And so are you.
Your contribution matters to someone
somewhere. Step up to the plate; bring
your thimble-full of whatever is on tap in your life. Somebody needs a taste of that brew.
