A Drop in the Bucket
Frances Moore Lappe

We’re just a drop in the bucket, and that’s meaningless. But we say, ‘No, wait a minute. If you have a bucket, those raindrops fill it up very fast. Being a drop in the bucket is magnificent.’ The problem is we cannot see the bucket. Our work is helping people see that there is a bucket. There are all these people all over the world who are creating this bucket of hope. And so our drops are incredibly significant.

~It is really hard to maintain this type of perspective. One of the things that I feel the Lord is teaching Jennifer and I is that we need to become one of these people who call attention to the fact that there is a "bucket". We should be encouraging people that their little bit does matter, and that their role isn't insignificant, rather it is "magnificient".
