Let the DIALOGUE Begin!

The Little Things

Tonight's dinner preparation was a bit of a workout. There was LOTS of chopping.

As I was chopping I just started thanking God. I realized that there are many people who can NOT chop.

It may be painful for them to grip the knife.
They may not have enough strength to cut the thick carrots.
They may not be able to stand for as long as I stood while chopping.
They may not have anything TO chop.

Yes, in something even as simple as preparing dinner, I had a praise on my lips...because I realize that NOTHING should be taken for granted.

So as I thank God for continued eyesight (which I do EVERYDAY), I've also thanked Him on this day for the ability to simply prepare a meal.

I praise God for the Big and the Little things...because He deserves the praise in ALL.

Let the DIALOGUE begin! What's something small that you think people take for granted, yet YOU don't?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
