I’ve learned a lot of things in my 42 years of marriage to Bridget. Some of these lessons were learned the hard way, and some the easy way, but they were learned just the same, and have helped make our marriage what it is today.

One of the greatest lessons I have learned is that little things count. I don’t think any of us purposefully or intentionally fail to take care of the “BIG” things in our marriages…things like maintaining unquestioned fidelity, always being honest and truthful with our mate, or making sure that the lines of communication remain open at all times. But it’s the little things that we often overlook that prove to be a source of irritation and conflict in our relationship…small things like forgetting to take out the garbage, not emptying the dishwasher, or not tossing our dirty clothes in the hamper instead of in the corner on the floor. Big issues are important, but the little things count as well.

And you know what? It’s like that in our Christian life, as well. So many times, we concentrate on the big issues of serving and honoring God, but we overlook the little things, the small things, that we, sometimes, allow to creep into our lives and undermine our effectiveness as a believer.

Well, that’s what I want us to talk about today, so stay tuned as I address the topic: It’s the Little Things That Count, on this episode of Living Lite Today.
