A priest took a photo while standing near a big church. As the church was so tall, the person who took the photo had to go back a long distance to incorporate the church and the priest in the same frame. Finally the photo was taken and later when the priest was looking into the picture he realized how small he was compared to the church. He also realised that each of the member in the church is too very small compared to the big church. Each member should humble himself in front of the creator.
Also, there are churches which took almost 400 years to be constructed. So generations have passed on without seeing the actual form of the church. But they did their part and the construction is still continuing. What we do for the Christ is actually like placing a block to build the wonderful mansion of Christ's body. May God bless us too in our gentle steps.
