the little things in life

This week I was asked to write a letter of encouragement for a friend. As I started to think back, many memories I had stored in my heart surfaced. Where did the time go? As I thought of what to write, God brought to mind just how much He has worked in my life. How many prayers He answered for my children, how he worked in our marriage. How loved ones in my family came to know Him, How friends turned their lives over to Him. God has been so good to me. He also brought to my mind the little things He has provided for me. It is easy to remember the "bigger" blessings in life, but I think it is the "little" blessings that sometimes we forget about. In some of the things I prayed for that seemed "not important" to anyone else, God still loved me enough to know they were important to me. God, you are a "good God" I praise you for wooing me into your kingdom, even as a little catholic girl. Thank you for all the trials, and blessings you have bestowed upon me and my family, for it was when we were weak, Your power was manifested in our lives.
