  1. Who gets to decide what ARE big dreams and small dreams? We are all different in our hopes and dreams so we just have to content in what we want for our own life! It’s like the way my kids urge me to get out of the house and go places as if by me being content to stay at home is a bad thing! Just because I’m older doesn’t mean I don’t have the ability to decide what,and when,I want to do. Would I be a better person if I were constantly going places ,or would I ultimately be the same person? I think each of us should be able to chart our own path in life,and we shouldn’t be made to feel less than who has different goals for themselves!

    1. Yes! Exactly, yes! I just read a fascinating article about former President Jimmy Carter and how he’s chosen a simple, frugal, quiet life after his presidency. I’ll find the link and tag you on Facebook, because it was sweet and thought-provoking.

  2. SO GOOD! The world is constantly pushing us to focus on ourselves, and we can easily forget the value of the small moments— and that any act of service is no small thing in the eyes of our Heavenly Father. Thanks for sharing your heart. ❤️ I am thrilled to connect with you!

  3. Very thought provoking. I personally believe that all dreams are big dreams as we all need each other regardless of the task that we are doing. Without a vision the people parish. It doesn’t state how big the vision needs to be. We were all created unique with different gifts and talents. I cheer everyone on as they press forward into all that created them to be. Big or small — they are all the same size in Gods eyes. Big or small — we all need each other. If you are meeting that need — I say there is no comparison.

  4. Oh, my! This is so very relevant for me. I have always been a small item, everyday item girl, then woman. I taught hundreds of little ones how to read, to add numbers. I cared for Mama for 15 years. I just cared for my dying husband for 5 months. He has recently gone Home to glory. These are all big in one sense, but small sitting next to the CEO of some giant company. The lists you gave of the things that must get done, reminding me of all those who do those tasks, need to be appreciated everyday. Thank you, to each one of you who thinks you are doing mundane and tiny things. You are the CEO of the most incredible worth. I am learning to accept that which God has given to me and allow Him to tell me I am worthy. I am. So are you!

    1. I love this, Linda! It sounds like you have been faithful in many things. I know God will reward your faithfulness with, “Well done.”

  5. Kim, thank you so much for reminding us the importance of the “small” jobs and “small” dreams, which are not so small after all! All those seemingly menial tasks are important and we could not really do without them. God does call some of us to do the small things, but in His eyes there are not any small things. It is all important.
    Blessings to you! Thanks for visiting my blog today.

  6. I LOVE this. I get so restless about what I am supposed to be doing to serve, but know that in some ways I need to content myself with where God has me. Visiting you from Holley Gerth’s link up today. laurensparks.net

    1. Thank you for visiting today! I agree we need to be content with serving God faithfully where we are right now. ☺️

  7. Thank you so much for this!! It can get so overwhelming to constantly hear dream big, andy our dream isn’t big enough, etc… Reading your post was like taking a much needed breath of fresh air and drink of nice cold water on a busy hot day. Wonderful post.

  8. Thank you so much for this. I know you wrote this awhile ago, but I came across this today and it was very freeing for me. There is a lot of push to fulfill big dreams. I was pursuing one and getting worn out and it felt like my priorities were out of whack. This was a relief to hear that I can just be content with my smaller dreams and if it grows bigger in the future that’s ok. I don’t need to hustle and dream big right NOW. Thank you!

    1. Thank you so much for your comment! You’ve really encouraged me. This is something I frequently battle, and it’s good to know I’m not alone. 😊

  9. Reading your post today was perfectly timed, as just this morning I was praying over dreams and trying to figure out what my dreams are…as a mom of two young children, my days are filled with the mundane and I’m certainly living the small dreams. Your words were encouraging to me and I will continue joyfully and faithfully in my small dreams during this season of life.
