Little Things Mean A Lot

I was recently listening to the radio when the oldie but goodie song, “Little Things Mean A Lot” came on. For some reason, the lyrics reached out and grabbed me:

Give me your arm as we cross the street

Call me at six on the dot

A line a day when you're far away

Little things mean a lot

Give me your hand when I've lost my way

Give me your shoulder to cry on

Whether the day is bright or gray

Give me your heart to rely on

A little sappy? Maybe. But I was reminded of how important doing the “little things” can be to building our relationships. Simple things such as speaking kind words, reading to a child, doing something without being asked and a simple phone call to just say, “Hello.” Small things that can make a big difference.
