My parents have instilled in me a deep love for the little things in life. You know, those ordinary, seemingly unspectacular moments that hold meaning.
Our neighbor completing the siding on his garage, after leaving a square uncovered for weeks.
The garbage man taking all of our garbage, even though we put out extra.
Using leftover food.
Killer deals in supermarket flyers.
A new podcast coming out.
Getting a stain out of shorts.
Gas going down two cents the day we planned to fill up.
A perfect breeze on a summer day.
Our cats being really cute.
Watching The Price is Right as a family.
Finishing a book.
Everybody says, "It's the little things in life." And it really, really is. Those are the things that create your everyday delights. Sure, the big things hold their magic too -- a major vacation, getting married, having a child, landing a dream job. But if you neglect the wonder in the little things, you miss out on 99% of God's grace in your life.
Take a moment today and appreciate something little, whatever it is. A green light. A great cup of coffee. A stunning sunset. On-sale ice cream. A fan positioned just right. Your favorite t-shirt.
Just appreciate it as a little manifestation of God's glorious, happy grace. Amazing.
