It's the Little Things...

Our God works in the little things. He uses little signs, little gifts in our everyday lives just to say, "Hey. I'm here. You're not alone." I've been noticing this a lot more lately, particularly in nature. God gave us so many beautiful things that reflect His love for us! Last night the sunset was so beautiful, and all I was thinking was "Wow. That must be what Heaven looks like." I love this time of year because flowers are blooming and with them, dandelions! I love dandelions. They're so simple, and so disliked by many, but at the same time so beautiful! They spread quickly, bringing their delicate beauty everywhere they land, and they just won't give up. There are so many lessons and gifts that God gives to us through these little flowers/ weeds and through all of His creation!

It's these little "God moments" that are so powerful. God is so involved in our everyday lives. Yes, He waits for us in the tabernacle for us to visit and receive Him, but He also meets us where we are. We are given so many gifts. Some of them are amazing coincidences that let us know, without a shadow of a doubt, that God was with us.

I recently experienced one of these amazing coincidences. I mentioned in my last post that I was going on a come and see retreat weekend. During the retreat, we were talking about this blog and one of the other young ladies (who'd I'd never met before) mentioned that she is a subscriber! What a coincidence that we both happened to be on the retreat at the same time! God is so good, and He gives us so many gifts, even in the little things :-) There were many other Divine coincidences during the retreat, and I received so many graces. Thank you to all who were praying for me!

I encourage you to look for God in the little things. He is so good to us, and signs of His precious love surround us. He is so interwoven in our lives, and He wants us to talk to Him about them! God cares. He knows our hopes and dreams, joys, and struggles. It's the signs of His love, both the little and big, that give us a glimpse of our Heavenly home.
