Its the little things...

I am humbled at the thought that someone would think of me.

There are days when it seems all I do is give and at the end of the day have nothing to give God in return but vapor. I hate to admit that God gets the leftovers of my daily life but that is so the case these days. Yes, I think of Him and seem to SOS prayers to Him but then I fade out and disappear in the daily grind. I noticed that while preparing dinner and a birthday cake for the twins that I couldn't wait for the day to be over. So much to do, so much to accomplish, I just wanted to crawl in bed and take a long nap. But I'm glad I didn't. It was a joyous time to see everyone celebrate the twins' 5th birthday. And giggle over dinner. But what surprised me the most was after the twins went "birthday" shopping with grandma and grandpa that they took a moment to get me flowers. So in all the giving, I was given to.

Children are gifts from the Lord and at times it may not seem that way with all of the hullabaloo you have to go through with them. But its in the little things that make it all worth it. When I think that all I do and all I give go unnoticed, I am so wrong. God is always watching and even if no one notices, He does and He sends little reminders to us along the way.
