Small Packages

The world is full of stupendous, larger than life, amazing wonders, some made by people, and some made by God alone.  They nearly take our breath away--majestic cathedrals, the Olympics, the Statue of Liberty and the Grand Canyon, the Great Wall of China, football stadiums filled with cheering fans, Disney World, the endless ocean.  The list could go on and on.

Sometimes, though, it's the littlest things that matter most:  the Bible, a wedding ring, a newborn baby.  

And some of the best things are intangible, untouchable, like the faint rainbow after a brief summer thunderstorm, a gentle breeze, a glorious sunset, the starry night sky, an evening stroll with someone you love, a song, a smile, and those three little words that mean so much but are often left unsaid.

It's true--"good things come in small packages," or, perhaps, the best things can't be wrapped up in a box at all.  

"And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love.  But the greatest of these is love."       
1 Corinthians 13: 13
