The little things

Things are slowing down for a bit, so I will try to blog a few lines.

Have you ever stopped to think about the little things in life? It is usually the little things in life that make it great or derail your whole day! With that in mind, I think about the drive home from church Sunday night. Everything was going great until a little skunk :-) played chicken with the family car. The rest of the trip was, well, can I say "hard to enjoy."

The bad things can mess up your whole day if you let them. Days can turn into weeks, even months. I've started praying daily that God would help me enjoy the little things that are so easily overlooked. Just the other day, Isabella picked up a book and brought it to me. For months I've been trying to get her to sit on my lap, and lately she wants me to put her on my lap to read to her. Sometimes it's only a minute or two, but it's a start.

Last night I got home at 9:55 p.m., and Misty was asleep on the sofa. At just the right time, she rolled over and flipped the TV channel to 27 so I could enjoy one of my favorite sitcoms. This is just one of the many little things she does just for my enjoyment. I can only hope to return the favor.
