Put it in perspective.

For all those people who complain about having little girls who sing Frozen's sound track 24/7, you are blessed. So blessed.
Because those little girls try to sound at least a bit like Idinia Menzel and Kristin Bell. Those mini Elsas and Annas are actually kind of cute.

But I wasn't so lucky. You see, I have four little brothers who are Frozen addicts. Yet they don't care if they don't sound good. They just sing at the top of their lungs for hours on end. Then they jump on my bed to wake me up at 6:40 to turn on Frozen... On the one day I get to sleep in.

They can quote any line from the movie. Then another brother will tell everyone else who said the line and at what exact moment to who pertaining to what. I'm not sure how much more I can handle.

Oh yeah, then they made multiple board games... complete with Olaf and the big snow monster. It would all be okay, but then they ask me to play their games any time they aren't singing. Seriously.

So I'm not telling you all this so you can feel sorry for me. This is for 2 reasons. Just put it in perspective.

1) You are so blessed if you have little girls who sing like angels. I know, I know, they may sing it over and over again, but it's still (a little) better than 4 little boys singing in obvious unharmony.

2) I seriously apologize for the ten million times I sang "let it go". Now I know the horrors of hearing this song on repeat.

On a different note, I still love my brothers. I bet those little angel girls don't sit down and watch the extend version of the Lord of the Rings with you.

it's a big deal.

Sometimes great things start super small. 

If you happened to pass by us 4 Radiant Rubies the past couple Fridays at church, you probably wouldn’t have known we were planning something great. Sometimes we would be embroidering or crocheting, sometimes we would be laughing, and sometimes we would be talking about random things that had nothing to do with what we were supposed to be planning. However, we put together an event that made a difference.

On Saturday, March 29th, we spent the day crocheting washcloths for an organization called Days for Girls, which provides hygiene kits for girls in third world countries.Thank you to all the people who came and helped us make a difference! Our event wasn’t big, but we used our time to serve, and serving is always big. Imagine the smiles on the girls faces when they receive the blessings that we take for granted. Our washcloths that we made for them aren’t perfect- some are too big, some are crooked- but they will make a difference. 

So next time you worry because your service project seems too small, remember: service isn’t about the quantity, but the quality. When a willing heart chooses to serve the Lord through service to others, it’s always a big deal.
