The furnace in my house was having some problems Wednesday afternoon, and my husband spent some time tracing wires and checking circuits. He never did find out which one of the switches was faulty—all of them tested okay, and the furnace just came back on spontaneously.
That left me thinking about how we often can’t trace the events that happen in our everyday lives. Even if something looks like it is small and unimportant, that is not necessarily the case; it could turn out to be much more significant than we realize at the time.

Very true!
Thanks Carolyn!
Hi Meg, we should never discard small things, they are important (or more) than the big ones.
Often we don’t know what is small or big until we develop more perspective.
Oh so true, Meg! Thank you for the reminder — nothing is insignificant! 😀
Hi Becca, yes, it’s generally best not to make such assumptions!
