A couple of years ago a video appeared on YouTube of a grandmother reading the story Wonky Donkey to her grandchild. It’s read in a beautiful Scottish accent but as she reads she begins to laugh at the story until she is so overcome with laughter, that she has tears in her eyes and is almost unable to continue. This little video clip has gone viral on the Internet and has now been viewed by millions of people. What’s more it caused a rush on the book which then sold out causing the publishers to have to do another reprint.
A single little video has captured the world’s attention. Somehow the small and insignificant has become a global phenomenon. Jesus once told a story about the kingdom of God and how it starts small like a mustard seed or a grandmothers laugh but then grows into something much bigger. Sometimes the smallest act has far greater impact than we could ever imagine. I wonder what small thing could you do to help to help make the world a better place.
