Little Things

This past week I had the chance to spend some time with my sister and her family. She has a five year old boy named Benjamin. He too smart for his own good sometimes but, I truly love this kid. During the five days I was there he reminded me to be grateful for the little things in life. He would give a blessing on the food or say a bedtime prayer and every time he did he would list things that he was grateful for. One of my favorites...We are grateful for baby Hailee and for her body. She is beautiful inside and out. WOW!!! He is five!! It really made me sit back and think about life...what am I grateful for? The little things really do matter!
Here are just a few of the things I thought of:
1. My Family
2. My Friends
3. My House
4. Eating...the days it doesn't make me sick
5. My Job...the kids really are amazing
The days that life seems like it can't get any worse I need to remember the little things in life. Because when you think about it this way...life really isn't so bad.

  1. He is an amazing boy - but you know I am prejudiced. We always have fun when you come down!
