Small Things - Not So Small

“Our lives are made up of little, simple circumstances that amount to a great deal when they are brought together, and sum up the whole life of the man or woman; and yet in our passing from one to another our little acts and incidents seem to be very minute or simple, but we find that they amount to a great deal."(Brigham Young*)

Daily I am reminded of the "small" events of our lives as I scan old family photos. Recently we put together some memories of Michael Todd for his daughters. It is precious to record even the "small" memories. 

"... by small and simple things are great things brought to pass... (Alma 37:6)
