its the little things

It’s the little things in life that so often end up making big long term differences.

• Like waking up early to cook your husband and you breakfast, to then come back upstairs to find he’s made the bed (for the first time in forever because he has a ‘last out makes it’ rule) and scattered it with rose petals
• Or finding out that your blog host now allows scheduled posts (thanks weebly…FINALLY, i no longer have to post as I go!)
• A call from your mum who just wants to listen to what has been happening with your life, even though it might make her slightly worried.
• To being a smiling face to those around you who are quick to temper and just listening, even if it is negative.
• From learning that you’ve lost 3.5kg in 40 days from sticking to a routine – thanks 5:2 fast diet (hubby has lost 7kg in this time, why do men always lose it faster…sigh!)
• And reading scripture and having prayer with your husband every night before sleep.

The way that little things can internally change you and your heart, is something which turns out to not be such a little thing afterall.  Its probably one of the most important things!   Especially when it comes from a place of honesty and truth.  Something which I am learning more and more every day of my life as I grow in my Christian faith.

The littlest act of kindness, even if in the way of a smile to a stranger or a positive compliment to a co-worker, can really make the world of difference to the rest of your day and to someone elses!  A friendly hello to a stranger can turn into a conversation with them – who really needed to just talk to someone, because they have no one else to talk to!

The little things add up – the little things ALWAYS count!
