Proverbs speaks of the wisdom of tiny ants, the cunning of tiny hyraxes making their homes in rocky crags, the organization of migrating locusts, and the agility of lizards, making their way into kings\\u2019 palaces. Jesus taught that the tiny mustard seed could grow into the largest of plants. Though only a youth, David the shepherd boy was able to conquer the mighty Goliath.

Therefore, let these words of Lisa Firestone\\u2019s be our prayer today: \\u201cThough I be small, God, give me the grace to be love\\u2019s beacon while I\\u2019m in this place. Help me be all I can for the human race. Use me, Spirit, though I be so very, very small.\\u201d
