Take a look
around you. Really. Stop for a minute. I know you’re busy. But, just for a minute, take a look around
you. What do you see? Do you see anything for which you are
grateful? If that wasn’t your first
thought, then think about this. God shows us that even the smallest of things
are important to Him.
“In fact, he even counts every hair on your
head!” Luke 12:7 (NIRV)
But we tend
to put God in a box. Rather than thinking
of Him in the grain of sand, we think of the whole beach or instead of the drop
of water, the whole ocean. Don’t miss
God by neglecting to take the time to see the small things. Then cherish them and stitch them together in
your heart.
Take another
minute to pray and ask God to make you grateful for the big and small
things.
Enjoy one of
my small treasures:
This is the
fence in our yard in Nicaragua. It is a
concrete block fence, but part of it has vines growing on it. At the top is barbed wire. Look closely. Up on the top of the barbed wire is an
avocado. Below is a close-up of my special
avocado. The avocado
fell onto the fence from a tree in the yard behind our house. God gave it to me.
