Enjoying the Little Things!

I  was recently inspired when I read Johannes' Blog on enjoying the 'little things' in life. In a world of let downs, failures, pain and sadness, I felt eager to create my own list! I hope this will inspire you too, to take time and reflect on the things that make you happy and smile, in a world that tries to steal your joy.

Driving with the windows down, the sun shining and my favorite song comes on the radio
Laughing at inside jokes
Cuddling up under warm blankets on a cold night
Thunderstorms
Finding the perfect piece of clothing for an extremely low price
Relaxing Sunday nights and watching a  movie
Getting a phone call or text message from someone I love at the very moment I needed it
The way God creatively blesses my finances
Reading a good book
Knowing the fact that I have the greatest mom in the world
Early mornings, coffee, and time with Jesus
Great conversations with friends
Feeling the love of my life's strong arms wrapped around me
Every time I get off the phone with my best friend, I smile and say "I love that girl"
Those moments when life is simple and I feel content....I breathe in the moment and enjoy it with a smile :)

The list could go on and on. If you are like me and some times tend to be negative, write a list and choose to dwell on all the blessings in your life or the things that make you smile.

This life can be confusing and painful at times, but knowing God makes it all worth it. He lavishes His love upon us every day. When you feel down and depressed, keep looking up, because I bet you will see God's love letters to you, all around (even in the little things)
