Multitudes. The whole point of documenting these multitudes is to realize how small and special they are. They aren't anything huge or significant. Just the little splashes of happiness that touch our every day lives.
Sometimes this world looks pretty bleak. Depression, grief, and fear cover the sky like the heavy banks of gray clouds that cover the January sun.We don't see the tiny blessings. The little flashes of glitter in our lives.

~A Cat who chases her tail, then when she notices that she is being watched drops down and pretends to be the epitome of dignified cat-hood.
~ Late Christmas gift from my sister (a tiny "pocket watch" pendant on a necklace. :)
~ Giggling with my siblings as we all turn every last pocket in hopes of finding the one last quarter needed for the vending machine. :)

Thankfulness is such a rewarding discipline, isn't it? As we realize what God has given us, our hearts overflow with gratefulness for who He is and how He cares for us. I have been trying to be more thankful for the little things, too.
ReplyDeleteHere are some of my multitudes:
~A good night's sleep (and that's a BIG thing these days! :-))

~Little boy's stories and imagination
~Fuzzy warm socks
