God's Gifts, Great and Small

I'm the kind of person that notices things. At least, I am now....
There was a time when I wanted to be noticed. But, I am far beyond that perspective now. I have learned through my journey that it is far better to go un-noticed. 
But, you must realize how great a gift it is to be "small". You must realize you ARE small (in the scheme of things). I'm not saying you can't do great things! That is the purpose of life.....to take what you are given and use it in the name of God. The difficult part is learning not to brag or bring attention to yourself. That, to me, is being Christ-like.

With that said, I notice when I am driving to work and the traffic signals are all green....Or, when someone lets me into traffic, or when a friend needs a little bit more attention. 
I notice the squirrels in the tree across the street frolicing through the branches and the wonder of the Blue Jay that happens to glide from one tree to another. I notice the crispness of the air and the colors of the leaves. 

My prayer for you today is to notice God's gifts, no matter how small. And thank Him. For He is the Creator of all things. Every living thing is His, including and especially you. So thank Him for YOU....your life, your blessings, those who are in your life and the abundance of beauty that surrounds you in the little things. We all like (even expect) to be thanked when we give a gift....for a birthday, or a holiday. Why shouldn't we thank God? He gives us the very air that we breathe. Fill your lungs and give praise to Him!
