A great deal of what we see
depends on what we’re looking for.

Everyone’s experience is just so different each day and of course it all depends on what we’re looking for. If our expectations are high and unrealistic the chances are we’re going to be disappointed. If our demands of other people are too high then we are sure to be disappointed
When we’re looking for little and small we will find plenty. They all do add up to something substantial. Today I can look for something good in my life. It may be small, it may seem insignificant but within the bigger picture it is the most precious of all.
From one of my morning devotions
GOOD MORNING !
We all have small things in our lives that we often take for granted . I do it all the time and don’t realize how meaningful that small thing was until I no longer have it.
Little things like my hot cup of coffee would be dearly missed if my coffee pot didn’t work each morning. It is bitter cold here with temps going to below 0 degrees they say by tonight. Right now it is 5 degrees.It ‘s windy too , which makes for a windchill factor.
I left my warm house Saturday morning go to DS#6;s for his birthday celebration. The good news is that it did not snow. I was home again before it was dark out so it was a quick trip to be sure. I spent more time on the road than I actually got to stay at his house. 2 hours there 3 hours spent visiting and 2 hours home. But at least I got to go.
My family is large and there are a lot of celebrations and events. While I cannot make it to all of them, I do go to the ones that I can. Each of them is so special and every occasion is worth celebrating. Once you suddenly loose someone you love, you really do learn how important it is to celebrate every moment.
I guess I’ll be having more than one good cup of coffee this morning. Holding a warm cup in my hand and sipping the fragrant brew feels very good today. I’ll be going to church as always for my weekly dose of R & R and I’ll be saying those extra prayers for all of you too! May dear Lord bless you all !
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Once you get past the idea that for every winner there must be a loser, amazing things can happen.

May your day be bless with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !
