Traffic laws.
Paved roads.
Having something to do.
Eye contact.
Bare feet.
Giggles of children.
Incessant chatter of your offspring.
Bicycles.
A small hand reaching for you for comfort.
Being able to communicate.
Stores actually carrying what you need.
Pencils.
Playdoh.
I climbed into the shower after Brent on Sunday night to discover that he'd used most of the hot water. It was still the best shower I'd had in a week. Instead of being irritated, I was thankful. I climbed out refreshed.
I think at times we get so hung up on the little things that bother us, we forget about all the good we have stopped noticing.
Lord, may I never stop noticing the good.

When we returned from Honduras, I went to Wal-mart for groceries. I was in the dairy aisle looking for butter. All these choices jumped out at me and I felt so overwhelmed. I became very dizzy, left my full cart right by the butter and drove home crying!!! I had several small "nervous breakdowns" after those first few months home. But now, ten years later, I needed what you wrote to remind me of the little things, too. I get to eat meat everyday if i choose, even every meal if I want!! Here's to the small things, and our big GOD that provides them!
