Zechariah 4:10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
Little things are often viewed as being insignificant, but in reality they are very important. They are the spice of life. It is a mistake to be interested only in the main course {big things}, disregarding the need for the little things {spices}. The main course without spice is bland, tasteless, and unsatisfying.
Parent may feel they are showing love for their family by working long hours and bringing home plenty of money to assure financial security. But if working long hours and making lots of money {the seemingly big thing} means they have little time at home for the little things like talking and laughing with family and doing fun things together, the marriage and family relationship become dull and unsatisfying.
So if you've been overlooking the importance of the little things in life, it's time to add some spice to your life. Why not start right now?
