GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY,. NOVEMBER 28, 1974—PAGE 9A
It's amazing how God can
take a small, insignificant act
of kindness and turn it into
something big and beautiful.
Our society is constantly
being propagandized into
'Think Big'. We urge our young
people, "Do big things. Go
faster. Go farther. Earn more
money. Accumulate more.
Dream the impossible dream."
Certainly our problems are
big. Problems of poverty, crime,
prejudice, divorce, rebellion ...
all so great we are apt to throw
up our hands in frustration and
say, "That's too big for me to
do anything about; so I'll just
leave 'it to someone else."
The trouble is, we've got so
hung up on only doing
everything in a big way that we
tend to over1ii6k the small
things we can do, and hence do
nothing at all.
As individuals, perhaps it's
time we started to 'think.
make the road from Jerusalem
to Jericho more safe from
thieves. But they did nothing
about the problem right before
their noses...the battered and
perhaps dying man lying 'beside
the:>roadside.'
• Here, again, Jesus ern-
phagized the helping of one in-
dividual. He showed how one
person, the Samaritan, treated
one other person in need.'This
Samaritan did what he could.
He bound up the wounds of one
man, took him to the inn and
paid the ,bill. Yes, he did what
he could.
Someone has said Christians
are, waiting for- big crosses to
die on. But we don't need to
wait for big crosses. Jesus told
us to take up our crosses daily.
We need to think small, to do
the things our hands find to do
in the places where we are. If
We Christians were willing to
do this, God would take these
responsibility is in this troubled
world. And we need not do it
alone for there is a Higher
Power to help us, and' we 'can
always look to Jesus for our
pattern.
Jesus faced most of the
problems we face
today...human nature hasn't
changed very much in 2,000
years. He knew 'first hand
about prejudice, poverty; op-
pression, crime. How did he
deal with evil? Usually on a
one-to-one basis:.,the little man
up' in the tree and the confuled
woman by the s‘rtle of a' well:",
In the story of the good
Samaritan it is likely thatthe
good priest and Levite were
burdened by the .problerrils of
the day...the Roman oppression
and how to get rid of it, com-
munity relationships,. or how to
in such a way that their impact
would be felt all around this
troubled old world.
Several years ago, a young
woman; Lillian Trasher,
arrived in Egypt to begin a
missionary career'. She. didn't
look around fqr something, big
to do, but was ready to do
anything. One day she visited a
dying mother and found a
dying, sick baby as well. She
did what she could, she took
the baby home with her and
began the start of a work that
touched all of Egypt.
A prominent -Muslim visited
her Osaiout Orphanage some
years later and left a donation
of several hundred dollars.
When asked why he, a Muslim,
would make such a con-
tribution • to a Christian in-
stitution, he replied, "We in
Egypt have seen what this
woman has done for' the.
fatherless and the widows.
n d , " he added almost in a
whisper, "when this -great
woman dies,. even though he is
a Christian and even though
she is a woman, I believe the
will go direetly to Paradise."'
Lillian Trasher did not waste
her time dreaming of
something big to do. She began
by doing what she could in a
small way and God took her lit-
tle gift and caused it to flourish
and increase:
We think of Jesus' act of
feeding 5,000 hungry souls from
a boy's small offering of five
loaves and two fishes as a
miracle. If everyone in our
western world gave the
equivalent to the young lad's
,gift there would be no more
hunger in ,,,the world. Would
,that be ,any less a mire*?
