The Bible says that “whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.” Maybe that’s why we don’t take surly teenagers home from the hospital as new parents. Most of us get a few years to learn the ropes through sleep deprivation, and diaper changes, and playdates. We have few years to grow into the role of being responsible for another human being. God usually gives us something small to take care of before entrusting us with something big.

At Whetstone Boys Ranch, this verse perfectly expresses our core values of responsibility and honesty. As boys demonstrate these character traits in small things like making their bed, grading their schoolwork, and taking baby steps in therapy, they earn the right to progress in the program. As a faith-based organization dependent on God’s providence, we have striven to put his grace to good work, praying that he will bless us with even more in the future.

So join Brandon and me for a little while, as we discuss the value of taking care of the small stuff.
