A Little Joey

I have been known to be somewhat corny and goofy and even sentimental at times. But, I am reminded from time to time that it truly is the minutiae that truly matters.

My family and I were on vacation last week, where we visited with family for a few days and went and saw some big waters. Then, we drove across part of Canada and visited Niagara Falls, both sides. Then, we stopped to visit the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, KY, which, if you haven't seen it, is HUGE! Needless to say, we saw some really large, monumental things, man made and GOD made.

Today's word is a quote that reminds about the little things:"Happy are they who take life day by day, complain very little, and are thankful for the little things."

So, why is this thought on my mind after seeing all the large things we saw? Because, while we were at the Ark Encounter, we were informed that there was a new edition. The day before our visit, a mother kangaroo had given birth to a joey; our kids could not wait to see the baby. And, when anyone has asked them about the trip that we took, they don't talk about Niagara, they don't mention the big lakes, they don't mention driving through Canada, they don't mention seeing the giant ark, they seem to always say, "We saw a joey!"

I think we are sometimes so distracted by all the big things in our lives, all the things that seem to need to be done RIGHT NOW, that we often miss some of the great joys and just being in the moment. Seeing some of GOD'S great works is amazing. Seeing the awe in my children's eyes at seeing one of GOD'S great miracles - birth - will always remind me that nothing compares to seeing a little joey.

Be Blessed,
