Every step counts

While reading this morning, I read this phrase "Every step counts". This sets my mind racing....all the situations that this could apply to:
The recent surge to use a pedometer for the purpose of walking more each day and can't you see someone thinking.......just a few more steps and I will make my goal.
Imagine trying to use a recipe and not follow each step that has been given.
The student that tries to take a class without meeting the requirements.The ill person wanting to get well but not following the doctors orders.Even getting older has required steps but what it really says is that EVERY step is important, no matter where we are in our lives.

May we each be encouraged to take........One step at a time
