Why "the little things..."

When I decided to do I blog the hardest thing was trying to decide what to name it. As I thought about it, I started with things that I like, something to sum up what I do and something about my family. Well, recently I've tried appreciating the little things. I find myself, admittedly all too often, looking forward to the next big event in our lives. At retreat, I found myself thinking at retreat as we talked about how God has blessed us, hmm what's a big thing that happened in my life. I had to stop myself, because I was overlooking all the things I thought were just "little things," when in reality, all those "little things" are HUGE!!! They are God's day-to-day blessings, gifts from Him and I want to enjoy each and every one of them. So with this blog I say, "Thank you Lord for the little things!!" I'm thankful for each and every blessing!
