When Big Things Fail You

So many times in life I have heard people say, "It's the little things that count". Well, it is true. God tells us to put our faith solely in Him. Why? Because, dear one, man will always let you down! So when you feel failed by something, no matter how big, remember it is the little things that count! "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things."

It is probably obvious at this point that I feel I have been failed by something HUGE, and with out fail, that still small voice spoke to me. So I look to the little things.

On this morning's drive to take my kiddo to school, he blessed me with this:

This picture does not do it justice. I only had my phone on me. Trust me! It was absolutely gorgeous!

A little thing that made my heart smile.

I returned home this morning to another thing that failed me. My brain. I forgot to get more coffee. So we combined a lot of little things and here was our breakfast.

A lot of little things that satisfied our tummies!

Aiden also had a visit from the tooth fairy last night. (hence the dollar bill in the picture.) He loved squishing the yogurt through the whole his little tooth left in his smile.

A small thing that brought great joy!

I may have started off my day feeling like very little. However, in combining a lot of the "little things" we are reassured that we have it all! All that matters anyway!

So, when the big things in life fail you, look to the little things!
