Character Developed by Little Deeds
It takes many fresh-cut flowers to supply a great city like London. Many years ago, a florist in the Covent Garden Market sometimes sold as much as $150,000 worth of cut flowers a week. One of the interesting features of the supply of flowers for this great city was that they came mainly from abroad and small growers. Baskets of flowers left from southern France in the evening and were ready for all the early morning markets of England two days later. These flowers were primarily grown by industrious French cottagers, each sending a few baskets from their little, well-worked garden plots. Human life is like that in many ways. It is the little things that make up the beauty and fragrance of a character. Christian manhood and womanhood grow by little restraints, little self-denials, and deeds that seem insignificant and taken alone. Still, the aggregation is a character and a life fragrant with a whole variety of Christian graces.
