Little Things

Throughout our lives, we all overlook the little things that make everyday events, something extraordinary. For instance, you can be having the worst day of your life, nothing seems to be going right and then, just walking along, minding your own business, someone passing you on the street smiles at you. And it's not a weird, stalker type of smile, but an honest, heartwarming smile that melts all the ice around your heart and the black cloud over your head. At that moment you realize that everything that was bothering you earlier, is now just a memory. This is how God works even the tiniest wonders.

God knows what we endure on earth. Remember, He sent His Son to undertake the biggest endeavor ever to occur in world history! What we decide to do with the opportunities given to us is up to us. I have gone through my life either overlooking or just taking for granted the times given to me to make a difference in someone's day. I love making people happy, whether it's by making them laugh, helping them with packages, etc., whatever it is, I want others to know that there are people who actually care for other people and do so because it's what Jesus told us to do. When everything begins to revolve around the world and our own needs, then we begin to lose sight of the real deal.....Jesus!


We should focus on returning to what it's really all about....others, not ourselves. As a parent, I had to learn that my children's needs came before mine, regardless of whether or not it was something I needed or wanted. As a society as a whole, I believe that we are withdrawing from that and returning to the attitude.."What's in it for me?", which is the attitude during the 1980's where everyone was looking out for themselves and basically heck to everyone else!

We have to return to our roots as a human race.....to return to helping our fellow man, to make sure that needs are being met, that the widows and orphans are fed and taken care of, that those who are hungry are fed and not just with food and water, but with the Word of God that provides food that sustains us through birth to death.

So, take time to speak and smile to someone you've not seen in awhile, or a perfect stranger. Make sure you know what needs are to be met in your neighborhood. If you are separated from Jesus, repent, pray and He will return to you in a way that surpassess anything this world can provide.
