The Little Things

     As busy as I have been lately, God has used it to teach me another lesson: never forget the little things. Things like laying in my cozy bed on a rainy morning or when my shih-tzu lays his head on my leg while I'm petting him. Or when my parents hold hands, or when someone gives me a bear hug that seems to pull me together when I feel like falling apart. Finding a song that sums up how I'm feeling, a random stranger smiling at me for no reason... Just to name a few. It's things like that that make an average or bad day better in my eyes.
     Being so busy has really shown me how precious these things are. When I look back, I don't want to remember being overwhelmed or stressed out. Because I'm realizing how important these things are to me, I'm remembering way more good than bad. I believe that God is showing me that no matter how crazy my life gets, I can find comfort and peace in those little presents He gives me as well as in Him.
     "Now may the Lord of peace Himself grant you His peace (the peace of His kingdom) at all times and in all ways, under all circumstances and conditions, whatever comes. The Lord be with you all." 2 Thessalonians 3:16 No matter what happens in my life, I know I can find peace in the Lord and nothing is more comforting to me than that!
