A Little Place

[91 words]

“Father, where shall I work today?”
And my love flowed warm and free.
Then He pointed me out a tiny spot
And said, “Tend that for Me.”
I answered quickly, “Oh no, not there,
Why, no one would ever see
No matter how well my work was done.
Not a little place for me!”
And the word He spoke, it was not stern.
He answered me tenderly:
“Ah, little one, search that heart of thine,
Art thou working for them or Me?
Nazareth was a little place.
And so was Galilee.”
