This morning, I sat and prayed over my day and my family’s day. I think I need to do this a little more often. We always have things in the “works” or big decisions looming over our head. Not to mention the daily task of trying to figure out what to do with the “life” things that need to be dealt with that seem just easier to ignore.
Life is so humbling. Whether it be the big things or the little things… But mostly, right now, I am mesmerized about how the little things just make me feel so incredibly lucky. I went upstairs last night to tuck in my three beautiful, dynamic girls. They have three beds, but most of the time choose to sleep in one all together. I got to their room and see them all snuggled together under the covers. The light was on so I could see their faces so clearly and it hit me: How did I get to be so blessed? What do I have to do so I get to watch them grow up? How do I ensure that I do lose this blessing? That brought me to my knees.
Little things like tucking my children in and snuggling with my husband on the couch. Those little things “do it” for me. I need that these days when life seems insurmountable in so many ways. They are my big kick to “get with it” and take care of my responsibilities.
Psalm 40:4
Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Psalm 84:11-12
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
These scriptures make me happy. They comfort me. They answer my “what do I have to do to keep these blessings” question.
I pray blessings on each of you; but more importantly, as I just read from a very wise friend: May you recognize the little things in life and cherish them.
