Due to circumstances beyond the control of our brilliant Webmaster emails directing people to last week\u2019s blog did not come out – however the good news is that this has now been sorted so to ensure no one missed last week\u2019s message we are simply re- posting again today.<\/p>\n

All at Mustard Seed Songs trust that you had an enjoyable Christmas.<\/p>\n

Please don\u2019t forget that the long awaiting debut CD from the Portsmouth Gospel Choir – entitled \u201cHow Great Are His Signs\u201d is now available for \u00a35.99 including P&P from www.mustardseedsongs.org.uk<\/a> You will probably know that proceeds from sales will help build the Risen Christ Central Chapel in Cross River State, Nigeria. In addition to monies raised from sales of the CD we also need donations as \u00a32500.00 needs to be raised to complete the building of the 200 capacity Chapel. You can access the My donate page by visiting www.mustardseedsongs.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

A couple of blogs ago I was making the point that in God\u2019s eyes small acts of obedience are big things. When you joyfully do little things like they are big things then God will do big things like they are little things. I quoted the words of a proverb \u201cFor Want of a Nail\u201d and also a Mustard Seed song \u201cWe Can\u2019t The World On Fire.\u201d I recently read the following poem from an unknown author in \u201cThe Word For Today\u201d and thought it would be good to share today as it has the same sentiment:<\/p>\n

One song can spark a moment,<\/em><\/p>\n

One flower can wake a dream,<\/em><\/p>\n

One tree can start a forest,<\/em><\/p>\n

One bird can herald spring.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

One smile begins a friendship,<\/em><\/p>\n

One handclasp lifts a soul,<\/em><\/p>\n

One star can guide a ship at sea,<\/em><\/p>\n

One word can frame a goal.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

One vote can change a nation,<\/em><\/p>\n

One sunbeam lights a room,<\/em><\/p>\n

One candle wipes out darkness,<\/em><\/p>\n

One laugh can conquer gloom.<\/em><\/p>\n

One step can start a journey,<\/em><\/p>\n

One word can start a prayer,<\/em><\/p>\n

One hope can lift our spirits,<\/em><\/p>\n

One touch can show you care.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

One voice can speak with wisdom,<\/em><\/p>\n

One heart can know what\u2019s true,<\/em><\/p>\n

One life can make a difference\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

You see it\u2019s up to you\u2026..<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
