What makes God so dear to us is not so much His big blessings to us, but the tiny things, because they show His amazing intimacy with us - He knows every detail of each of our lives."
~ The Secret of the Lord, My Utmost for his Highest, Oswald Chambers
The tiny things in life...the radiant smiling faces of both familiar and unfamiliar faces that greet you, the quick arrival of TTC buses, a pleasant conversation, a gentle hug, a well-mannered gesture, a motivating shout or high 5, a funny joke, someone opening the door 4 u, a considerate thought, giddy excitement for varying things, finishing a class at the gym, gazing at beautiful photos that surely capture a million memories...
...these are the moments & times that really uplift & encourage me...
As I was walking home this afternoon from the gym, I saw beautiful blue/purple flowers swaying beautifully in the nice cool breeze...
and...yesterday, while I was at the Metro, I saw 2 elderly women (1 was using a crutch of all things! - The other, being her cheerleader I guess) to get a package of candies that were too high for her to reach. I went over & used my big 5'6" frame (ha ha) to help her grab one. She was grateful, giggled & thanked me w/ a warm smile.
I know that the weather has been somewhat dismal lately, but these are those tiny moments that fill the world around me w/ beautiful rays of sunshine & from which I know that God walks intimately by my side....
