God uses small things to do BIG stuff ...

We can do no great things; only small things with great love" ... Mother Theresa.
A few weeks ago, I was invited to travel about 80 miles north to meet and share with other fellow "water sharers". It was a beautiful late summer morning when Cathi and I made that trip. Upon arrival, we immediately met our hostess Nanci and another lady who was quite excited to share her testimony with both us and the meeting's other attendees. This lady told us about her life-threatening health challenges she had suffered from over the past several years; about her recurring bouts of cancer which progressively got worse and worse until she found herself reaching the point of "no hope". But then this past spring, she was introduced to my friend Nanci who generously shared hope in the form of ionized water with her. And now fast-forwarding to this beautiful morning, she was telling us about how Nanci's small act of kindness turned into a BIG "no more cancer" victory for her body! Simply amazing!

While driving home after our meeting, I found myself reflecting about that lady's amazing testimony. It was then I realized something very personal, very humbling. I looked over to Cathi, saying "Do you realize that had we not decided 3 years ago to buy our ionizer and freely share our water with others, then most likely that lady we met this morning would have never been blessed with her BIG victory." {FYI: we shared with Martha, who shared with Ted & Merrie, who shared with Rocky and Karen, who then shared with Nanci} For me, this humbling realization was once again a dramatic proof-positive reminder about how our "heavenly anointed" action which at the time Cathi and I took seemed quite "isolated, small" yet by now has blossomed into a very large network of like-minded compassionate "sharers"; and even more incredibly how our Lord is continually blessing our team's collective "human-based marketing efforts" for His glory, to accomplish His BIG purposes HIS WAY!
"When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others." ... an old Chinese Proverb
