You always hear that it’s the little things that count. The little acts of courage, patience, or love have more significance than we can see at the time. Life also seems a tad more manageable when we focus on getting the “little things” right rather than focusing on all of life’s big decisions or the broad goals we have for our lives. Take it from these beautiful women: 
These are the Little Sisters Disciples of the Lamb – a religious order of women with Down syndrome.
“Guided by the wisdom of St Benedict, we teach our little disabled sisters the manual labour necessary for their development. We live poverty in putting ourselves at their disposal. With them, we share the work of everyday life.
The office, adoration and the praying of the rosary are adapted to their rhythm and their capacities. In a spirit of silence, our prayer feeds every day on the Eucharist and on the meditation of the Gospel.”
And it’s no surprise the sisters find inspiration in St. Therese of Lisieux’s “Little Way.”
“We follow every day the ‘little way’ taught by Saint Therese; knowing that ‘great actions are forbidden to us’, we learn from her to receive everything from God, to ‘love for the brothers who fight’, to ‘scatter flowers for Jesus’, and to pray for the intentions entrusted to us.”
So whenever you’re having a rough day when things seem to keep going wrong try to take a step back and just do one little thing at a time – and use these sisters and of course The Little Flower for some inspiration
