it amazes me.

It amazes me how the small things are the things that can make either make our day.... or not.

For example. Don't you hate those days when:

-you're date with a friend was canceled.

-you can't find a pencil.

-when you do find it, the tip breaks off every time you try to sharpen it.

-your jeans aren't done in the dryer.

-the shower was ice cold.

-they keep playing the song that you hate on the radio.

-the internet decides to freeze.

-you have a hang nail.

-the dvd from the library is scratched.

-someone ate the last of the cereal. 

-you're sore from a run.

-your tooth paste gets a hole in it. 

-you drop the laundry basket full of all the clothes you just folded. 

Isn't it terrible how we let these little things get to us?? I've been learning to thank God for things that I wouldn't normally thank him for. It's been really hard to remember that He cares about all the little things happening in my life. But, He's our Father, and He loves us so much. It's a crazy love that is so hard for me to comprehend. He is so powerful and all-knowing.... and He loves US! Don't you think He deserves our thanks?? So, let's remember to thank Him for the big things, but also for all the little blessings we wouldn't normally think to thank Him for. 

Such as: 

-a surprise coffee date with a friend.

-finding a pencil.

-...a pencil with a nice new tip and eraser.

-dry jeans.

-a warm shower.

-a radio in the car.

-high speed internet (for blogging!). ;)

-nail clippers.

-movies from the library.

-cold cereal.

-massage trains.

-a new tooth paste tube.

-clean laundry.

Big or Small, good or bad. Let's make a point to watch our attitudes. When you smile and don't get ticked off easily.... it's contagious!.... and others will catch on. :)

Let's encourage each other to thank God.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His mercy endures forever". 
Psalm 107:1





"Shout triumphantly to the LORD, all the earth.


Serve the LORD with gladness;
come before Him with joyful songs.


Acknowledge that the LORD is God.
He made us, and we are His —
His people, the sheep of His pasture.


Enter His gates with thanksgiving
and His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him and praise His name.



For the LORD is good, and His love is eternal;
His faithfulness endures through all generations".
Psalm 100
