A Few Little Things
April 18, 2008 by beckyreeves
My friend, Nicole, wrote a post about little things that bring her joy. I responded and then thought I’d make my own post about some little things that mean a lot to me. Here they are:
1. Laughing until I cry
2. The often hilarious ways my children (and others) mix up words
3. A breeze wafting through the leaves of a tree
4. The sound of gurgling water over rocks
5. Baby animals (OK, I admit it….Hannah probably got this from me!)
6. Holding and feeling a newborn human baby
7. Air conditioning in our bedroom and snuggling up with Dave on a really hot night
8. Spirit-driven connections with friends
9. Feeling a renewed sense of what God has done for me and how much He loves me.
All of these things speak of God’s presence and goodness. What are some little things that bring you joy?
Great list!
Hmmm, little things that bring me joy…
*the little gasp that a cold can of Diet Coke makes when you open it
*a surprise shaft of sunlight breaking through the clouds on a dark and overcast day
*getting an honest-to-goodness letter, written on paper and mailed with a stamp
*the smell of baby shampoo that clings to my hands after I wash Caleb’s hair
*a good book and a free hour
*coming home to the aroma of something yummy cooking in the crockpot
*that moment of peace that sometimes descends in times of struggle, washing over you and leaving the clear and undeniable understanding that God is near
