Thankful For The Little Things

The song says “Count your blessings, name them one by one.”  There are big things that happen in life that we are very grateful for.  Blessings that out of nowhere just blindside us and cause jubilant celebration, however, at times they can be few and far between.

On the flip side, there are every day occurrences that we can be thankful for.  Sometimes it’s the small things that bring to and have great meaning in our lives.  It may be insignificant to others, but carry a lot of weight with you. 

 

I’ve recently returned from a military deployment, and the sacrifices that are made by service members for this country in the name of freedom are astronomical, but are made willingly and gladly.

I make this observation to make the point of missing the small things of life that are taken for granted.  The old adage of not missing your water until your well runs dry is so true.  We take things for granted until they are taken away from us or we have to survive without them for a while.

Today is Friday, May 16, 2014 which we will begin another weekend.  Take time this weekend and pause for a minute to give God thanks for the little things in life.  BTW, you’re not to wait until you’re in church to do this.  It’s an exercise designed to take place apart from church.  Oh yea, the last part of the song that I opened up with is; “Count your many blessings, see what God has done.  Thank God for the littler things.

This has been your 80 seconds of encouragement.

 Have a great weekend
