BRIGHTEN YOUR CORNER...

BRIGHTEN YOUR CORNER

 

We cannot all be famous

Or be listed in "Who's Who",

But every person, great or small,

Has important work to do.

 

For seldom do we realize

The importance of small deeds,

Or to what degree of greatness

Unnoticed kindness leads.

 

For it's not the big celebrity

In a world of fame and praise,

But it's doing unpretentiously

In an undistinguished way.

 

The work that God assigned to us,

Unimportant as it seems,

That makes our task outstanding,

And brings reality to dreams.

 

So do not sit and idly wish

For wider, new dimensions

Where you can put into practice,

Your many good intentions.

 

But at the spot God placed you

Begin at once to do

Little things to brighten up

The lives surrounding you.

 

If everybody brightened up

The spot where their standing,

By being more considerate,

And a little less demanding.

 

This dark old world would very soon

Eclipse the evening star,

If everybody brightened up

The corner where they are!

This reminds me of the hymn that goes “Brighten the corner where you are. Someone far from harbor you may lead across the bar.” How many have been brought into a personal relationship with their Lord through the good example and outreach of another?
