'Make the minutes beautiful
Make the minutes beautiful
Scrupulous people are often laughed at.
"Why be so particular?
Why be so conscientious about mere trifles?
Why be so exacting and punctual in doing small duties?"
The answer is that in the matter of right and wrong — nothing is little; certainly nothing is insignificant. Duty is duty, whether it be the smallest, or the greatest task.
You are on the highway to nobility of character, if you learn to be scrupulous concerning the smallest things. He who is careful in little things, rises a step higher every day. He who is faithful in little things, is then entrusted with larger responsibilities.
It is the small segments in life which are most important.
Look after the little things, and the greater aggregates will be right.
Make the minutes beautiful — and the hours and days will be radiant.
"Well done, good servant, because you have been faithful in a very little thing" Luke 19:17
"Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!" Matthew 25:23
