The Little Things are certainly what makes me smile! My husband Jared knows this about me, and he is so amazing at doing the little things for me. These flowers were a surprise for me, and although they are beautiful and I absolutely love them....It's the fact that he was thinking about me when he got them that matters the most to me. Some other little things I love are snuggling, bear hugs, kisses (forehead, cheek, lips, nose, any kind), late night talks, home cooked meals, a smile from a stranger, talks with grandpa or grandma (older people have the greatest stories), prayer, Sunday morning church, and how my husband opens the car door for me still after all these years......Things like these I have learned to cherish, because you never know what might happen next. It is a crazy concept to think about, but in the end the small things end up being the biggest. I have learned this on my spiritual journey as well. I always thought that I should be doing big mission trips or something bigger, but I figured out their are so many little things one can do to further God's kingdom. I literally would cry, because I felt like I should be doing a whole lot more. I do still think that I should be doing more and more for God, but I have realized that I don't have to go to a foreign country to serve God (don't get me wrong that would be AMAZING if I had that opportunity), but I can do this in my daily walk with Christ in the small town I live in. It's cliche, but I must say it.....take the time to enjoy the little things in life! That cute giggle from your child, or that sweet kiss from the one you love, or even that hug from mom or dad. It is so easy to take these things for granted, and my prayer is that I, along with everyone can savor these precious moments.
