George Washington Carver was one of our great scientists, and he often prayed, addressing God as “Mr. Creator.” One night he walked out into the woods and prayed, “Mr. Creator, why did you make the universe?” He listened, and this is what he heard: “Little man, that question is too big for you. Try another!” The next night he walked into the woods and prayed, “Mr. Creator, why did you make man [meaning, the human race]?”
He listened and he heard this: “Little man, that question is still too big for you. Try another!” The third night he went into the woods and prayed, “Mr. Creator, why did you make the peanut?” This is what he heard: “Little man, that question is just your size. You listen and I will teach you.” And you may know that George Washington Carver invented some three hundred ways to use the peanut. Ordinary. Unusual.
whisper of God leads us into simple acts of service and kindnesses. We are led to deliver a bouquet of flowers to an acquaintance who is out of sorts. We feel prompted to shovel the snow off the sidewalk for a handicapped neighbor. We rise quietly in the morning and fix coffee for our spouse. Daily life affords a multitude of such opportunities to serve.
