As I was reflecting today on the things that has happened this year I am reminded of the little things. You see it isn’t the big extravagant things that really make life so amazing. It’s the little things. The little things when you see that prayer nobody knew you were praying answered. It’s the way a certain person may laugh or smile in a small moment. It may be the way something smells. Could even be that thing that someone would call normal or unimportant. What am I trying to say through this? I want you to remember that the little things in life is what makes life so enjoyable! 

 

It’s not always the conventions or camps, or even the best friend getting married, or the big job opportunity. If you can’t find joy in the small mundane moments of life, you are missing out. I think it’s so special when a small mundane moment can turn into a treasured memory or may turn into something big just because you noticed it. It’s like the boy with five loaves of bread and two small fish in John 6:9. Even, A mustard seed of faith in Luke 17:6. Also, The Lord’s approval of the widow who gave her last two coins in Mark 12:41. It’s amazing how at any given moment the creator of the universe can step in and make that mundane moment or little thing into something spectacular. Just always know with a kingdom lens nothing is it seems. Through a kingdom lens you see the world much different. There is always possibility, hope, and much more that meets the eye. 

 

The little things that may seem so insignificant in an instant can change into something miraculous, memorable, and life altering. In this season of giving look for those smiles, those laughs, those moments with family when you are standing in line to grab food or laughing around the table there is always that chance that it may not happen again. And this is also a message to myself, for I am looking for those little things to hold onto while I am gone for the next 11 months! The Lord has been so good to me. I truly appreciate all your prayers! I love you all and Merry Christmas!
