It is in paying attention to the detail and small things then we learn to really care and to be present. The spirit of working in rush, or as quick as possible may have certain negative sides as we push ourselves so hard that we could also harm our soul. It is much better to work on the insignificant with patience, deligence with much love than accomplishing big tasks with grudge and restlessness. Most important of all, always be in the present of the Lord. Let us move in Him, walk in Him and have our being in Him while we have constant rememberance of His mercy, being grateful.
One concern might arise then, "So what about priority? Or target or goals that has been set for certain tasks that we must do? Isn't it a waste of time to stick on those small things, which could also delay or shaddow the more significant one?" Well, yes in one extreme that could be the case, but only in extreme manners. When we learn to love what we do, we simultaneously recognizes the parts that needs really careful attention. Thus we pour our care in such away that we would treat it like violin strings, moderately and harmonically -- not too much or too little.
In that part is our mindfulness be trained. We are being faithful with what might seem small things that the Lord entrusts us to do. We joyfully do our parts as if and it is indeed for the Lord, to please Him sincerely. Let us challenge ourselves in this blessed season to walk and work rather deliberately with care and great love, always giving spaces between time to refresh our rememberance of the Holy name with awe. Glory to God!
