Life's Little Things

"Be kind to each other."1

Chances are you've been bitten by a mosquito, an ant, a gnat, a bee or a wasp, but have you ever been bitten by a lion or an elephant? Not too likely.

The point is that it's usually the little things in life that get under our skin and upset our apple cart more often than the biggies.

It's also the little things that make a big difference to the quality of our life. A simple thank you, a kindly word, a word of encouragement, a telephone call, a note, an email, a greeting card, a smile, a word of appreciation, a flower, and so on. As another put it: "It's the little things that bother us and put us on the rack; you can sit upon a mountain, but you can't sit on a tack."

Why not determine to do something kind every day for someone, and especially for your loved ones as well as to friends and work mates. As someone else said, "When we deserve love the least is when we need it the most!"

Do it today!

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, help me to always remember the important little things in life and give such gifts every day, not only to my loved ones and friends, but also to those who cross my path who need it—including those whom I don't especially like. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully in Jesus's name, amen.”

1. Paul, the Apostle (Ephesians 4:32).
