Cherishing the Small Things

Cherishing the small things is something I don't think we don't do enough of. Yes it's easy to be excited about your new home, car or an exotic trip, but have you ever thought about all those small things you may be missing out on. For some it may be one more moment with a person, or one more kiss. For others it may be the "thank you" that was said to them or the hug given by an appreciative child. I have learned to cherish all the small things that at times in the past I may have simply blown by. Yes, a new home, car or exotic trip are nice, but aren't everything to me. I think at times, if we're only focussing on the bigger things, we can easily become ungrateful or unthankful. Yet when we see all the small things in our lives and learn to cherish them, being grateful and thankfulness abound. And when you think about it, our days are filled with the small things and not the big. Do you cherish the small things? Do you appreciate them? When we learn to cherish the small things, life is beautiful :) Psalm 68:19... "Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation!"
