Do you know what song the Sunday School kids sang this morning? I do!
Zacchaeus was a wee little man, a wee little man was he
He climbed up in a sycamore tree for the Lord he wanted to see
for the Lord he wanted to see!
He looked up in the sycamore tree and he said, "You come down here!"
cuz I'm going to your house today, I'm going to your house today!
Actually, I don't think this is exactly how it goes. You see, I didn't hear it firsthand. I know the Sunday School students learned this song today because my little boy has been singing in non-stop all afternoon. That makes sense, really. It has everything he could ever want in a song: tree climbing, giving orders, and someone coming over to the house to visit!
It just goes to show you, though, that the smallest things can make the biggest impression sometimes. You never know who you're going to reach with little things you consider ordinary, like a song we've all probably heard a hundred times before. That old song finds new meaning in the mouth of a five-year old who never realized that Bible stories were that exciting!
Don't neglect the little things in your faith life. The simplest moments shared faithfully can make a huge difference!
