Things that Affect our Lives

On the ranch, there are routine things that must be done every day—feed, water, gather eggs, check the animals, clean stalls. Seemingly mindless things. However, each thing has an effect on keeping the ranch going and is a benefit for an animal who lives here. I wonder how many things that we do routinely every day in our lives may have a benefit to others, but we are unaware of the benefit to them. It seems if we considered it, we might do those things with more enthusiasm and joy. We might look forward to going about, just doing good.
