The Little things in Life.........

Hello Friends, Family, and Fellow Hikers,

        I have been thinking a lot lately about the little things in life. In church today, I commented on some of the little things in life that make a difference. In God's word he looks at the little things in ones life as big things. The widow women, gave all she had, a little...two mites. The woman and Elijah and all she had was a little cornmeal to eat and then die, but she shared and was truly blessed. There are many stories in the bible on the little things that do not seem important to us but to God or to someone else they are huge.
       Through our walk sometimes the little things are what keep us going or encourage us to continue on. We have learned the cold glass of water, the saying hello to someone on the road, brings a smile to someone, the small piece of candy you give to a child in a poverty stricken town. These are the little things that are really big things to others. We all need to look at others and think of what little thing might bless them rather than yourself. If someone offers you water accept it, you may deny them a blessing if you do not. We have accepted questionable cold water and yet saw a bright smiling face on the other side of the cold water handing it to us. We have seen just saying good morning or afternoon to a stranger, bring joy on someone's face. These are the little things in life, do not take the little things for granted. God uses the weak to achieve great things, look at David and Goliath, Mary Magdalene, the Widow Woman, the Good Samaritan and you.
           Through our walk we met Amber under a shade tree and she found us a place to stay. She was the one all of the community children went to for warm food and safety and she offered safety to us. We have been so blessed by the little things in life along our walk. God uses the simple to confound the wise. So, I want to challenge you all to take a look at the little things in life and see what you can do that will make a difference in someone else's life. You will be amazed at all the little things you can do that might make a huge impact on others. God's blessings are always available you may receive them if you give them.
          When I was hungry, you gave me meat.....When I was thirsty, you gave me drink...... When I was needing shelter, you let me in......
            These are the little things in life that change lives.....Yours,Theirs, ours and others......
So,go out and look for the little things in life and make a difference.

Lord Bless You and I love You,
