Finding Joy in the Little Things
As I gazed out my office window, I was met with a winter wonderland scene. Four inches of fresh snow had fallen overnight, and the birds were eagerly searching for sustenance. I quickly donned my jacket and boots to refill the bird feeder, grateful for my husband’s thoughtful placement of it where I could easily observe the activity.
A Symphony of Nature
As I watched, a dozen chickadees and a spotted towhee put on a dazzling display, flitting between tree branches, the feeder, and the hedge. My heart swelled with gratitude to my heavenly Father for the simple yet profound joy He had provided. The beauty of creation was a balm to my soul, and I felt my spirit lift in praise.
Unexpected Blessings
But God wasn’t finished surprising me. As I ventured out to clear the snow from our sidewalk and driveway, my neighbor appeared with his snow blower, kindly offering to do the job for me. My husband was away on a ministry trip, and I was overwhelmed with gratitude for this act of kindness. Thank you, Lord, for your goodness!
A Day Filled with Praise
Today was one of those extraordinary days when my heart was filled with praise from dawn till dusk. Some days are like that – days when the veil between heaven and earth seems thin, and we catch glimpses of God’s glory. My words feel inadequate to express the depth of my joy, so I offer my heartfelt thanks as a gift of love to my Father. Amen.
