It's the days that I have to search hard for any bit of goodness that really make me praise my King. The days when it rains-- it pours-- I think of every horrible thing going on around me and find myself in a mess of life. But then to find happiness I have to find the tiny things to bring a smile.. and then I realize that the joy from the small things come from Jesus and then I feel this sigh of relief brewing within. Sooo delighted that the Creator cares about details sometimes. It just goes to show that when we quit worrying about the articulate parts of life and look to the big picture, God will reveal His blessing in the simple smiles of our friends, the slightest touch of a high-five, the somber sleep of babies, the glorious feeling you get when the sun hides behind a cloud and your pupils open and all the sudden you can see so much more, or when the caf has good fries, or a friend tells you how easy a midterm is about to be, and you get an A on a paper, you take a 20 minute nap and it is as rewarding as a 3 hour nap, and a 30 minute hot shower.. the list goes on, and to think these are just the little details of one day that set my heart to glow. He really is good, even when all the big things seem a mess.
Blessed be his name.
