this little phrase over and over again. It is the phrase,
"Little by little."
It is that phrase that simply means in small degrees or increments; gradually.
The Bible uses the phrase "little by little" as well in Deuteronomy 7:17-22:
"You may say to yourselves, "These nations are stronger than we are. How can WE
drive them out?" But DO NOT BE AFRAID of them; REMEMBER WELL what the Lord your
God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt. You saw with your own eyes the great
trials, the miraculous signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm,
with which the Lord your God brought you out. The Lord your God will do the same
to all the peoples you now fear. Moreover, the Lord your God will send the
hornet among them until even the survivors who hide from you have perished. Do
not be terrified by them, for the Lord your God, WHO IS AMONG YOU, is a GREAT
and AWESOME GOD. The Lord your God will drive out those nations before you,
LITTLE BY LITTLE. You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the
wild animals will multiply around you."
Perhaps you need to hear the phrase, "Little by little"
It can be phrase used for all kinds of situations in our lives.

Wherever this phrase applies in your life.....apply it. Know that "little by
little" is one of God's ways. I love the last verse in this Scripture when it
says, "you won't be allowed to eliminate them ALL AT ONCE OR..... (something bad
will happen)..........................................".. There are reasons to
learn to live "little by little." Remember that God's ways, although not always
easy, produce the greatest peace, joy, beauty, & completeness.
May your soul find rest in embracing "little by little." We don't
need everything RIGHT NOW!
" There is a proper time and procedure for every matter, though a man's misery
weighs heavily upon him."
Ecc. 8:6
"Little by little" can be difficult and can "weigh heavily upon us" at times,
but trust God in this. He is the King and,
" Since the king's word is supreme, who can say to him, "What are you doing?"
Whoever OBEYS HIS COMMNAND will come to no harm, and the wise heart will know
the proper time and procedure." Ecc. 8:4 & 5
Blessings from Bombadil..........the home that is SLOWLY becoming what I
envision it to be...."little by little."

"I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, so
