My husband and I were driving to work yesterday morning and I saw something on the Turnpike that made me content. So, I thought why not write a list of the little things in life that make me content. Here goes.
1. Driving and seeing something just floating in the air. Ex. A publix trash bag or white piece of paper. (That's what I saw yesterday morning.)
2. Having my husband back in my arms after a long trip.
3. Laying on or seeing gorgeous, luscious, green grass. Ireland or a golf course would do.
4. Watching the funniest "Kids say the darnedest Things" video with my sister in her bed. (I had too.)
5. Watching "Never Been Kissed" on a rainy day, in my pj's, with cereal and a blanket.
6. Listening to Hillsong in the car.
7. Having a God and I moment. Those are the best. Thank you Jesus.
8. Eating a home cooked meal at my parent's home with them and the hubby and seeing everyone just laugh and enjoy being FAMILY.
9. Looking up at the sky when it is pure blue- no clouds- and sunny with a hint of wind. Ahh satisfaction.
10. Listening to my husband speak to his family in Brazil.
11. Seeing birds sit on a dead tree or sitting on the electric posts.
12. Hearing the waves crash.
13. Completing a drawing.
14. Flamingo Road Church
15. The numbers 5, 15, 25.
Those are just a few. It is those little things that remind me God is good and He is great! He has given me more than I could ever dream of. He has blessed me.
What are the little things in your life that bring contentment, satisfaction, and gratefulness? Share it or write them down in a journal or somewhere and say thank you to God.
