Big and Little

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”

James 1:17

 

Can you give thanks for the big and little blessings?

Sometimes the smaller blessings, though they may be greater in number, are missed or ignored.

We all recognize the need to thank God for a miraculous healing he brings or the fruit of pregnancy given to a barren womb.

But have you said thank-you for the safe drive home?

How about the child who has learned to tie his shoes?

But those aren’t really blessings!

Really?

All good gifts come from heaven so let’s cultivate that attitude of gratefulness for all good things, whether they come from the hand of your boss at work, the mailman on his route or the mechanic whose bill is far less than you anticipated.

Look, and be thankful for the little, numerous blessings that are too often overlooked.

Let thankfulness flow out of you a hundred times a day!
