It's The Little Things

Many times I look only for the "big" events to have meaning.  Often times it is the little things that bless me more.  A burst of laughter from a child.  That look and smile from across the crowded room.  The unexpected  bag of Jelly Beans.  A kind word.  The dishes being done.  A clean kitchen counter in the morning.  A text message.  The scale registering a pound less.  Finding a $5 in my purse.  I could go on and on.

All of those little things add up to the bigger picture of being blessed on a daily basis over a lifetime.  I am learning that as I write my blessings down it gives me time to reflect on  them and on the loving God who sends them my way!

Each time I blog, it is a little blessing to me.  My hope is that after a time, I will be able to find a bigger blessing in being able to read about and relive them all again.  Don't miss the little blessings that come each day.  Stop to name them one by one, and be surprised!
