This is a little excerpt from my
blog that I'd like to just share for no reason other than it is thanksgiving and I hope someone feels the same way or is bored and has nothing else to do tonight. Enjoy!
"Normally, I would have a lot of big things I would be thankful for like my family, my church, my girlfriend, etc. but driving home tonight, I thought about the little things I needed to be thankful for. The things we don’t really think about but just as important as everything else in our lives. Things like breathing, the rising of the sun, being able to see, our cells actively working, the molecules and atoms that holds the fabric of life together. We have so much trust that those important things will work and continue to work correctly and in doing so, our stress and anxiety is significantly lowered. Can you imagine if you had to worry that your body can fall apart if your atomic structure breaks down? Or that your wheel will fall off because of a faulty lug nut? What a stressful day!
But to let God take care of the “little” things, our worries lessen and we can continue to enjoy the life God has given us. Sometimes the “bigger” things in life can overwhelm us and cause us to stress and worry. But take a moment to think about God for a second. If God has the ability to make the sun rise and set, to hold the vast amount of stars in the sky, to keep our planets in orbit, to hold our bodies in place, to allow us to breathe automatically, and ultimately control time and space, don’t you think He can deal with our problems as well? Comparing our “big” problems to the “little” things that God has taken care of, I feel our problems are not as big as we think they are.
So thank you God for the little things in life."
