Here Lived A Great Streetsweeper!

Martin Luther King Jr. said:

If a man is called a street-sweeper
He should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry
He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say
Here lived a great street-sweeper who did his job well.

Alex & Brett Harris elaborate:

Our OVERALL SENSE OF PURPOSE gives meaning and significance to EVERY SMALL thing we do in life

We view them joyfully and wholeheartedly as opportunities to live well and beautifully for our Creator.


It is not extremely difficult for us to convince ourselves that the faithful practice of doing small Hard things should be valued as vital preparation for future achievements.

It is, however, much harder to view them as SIGNIFICANT in and of themselves.

Can we assign meaning to these simplest and humblest of acts?

A powerful way to be Fully Alive and connected to The Source every moment of your life!
