here's to the little things

people are always waiting for something big to happen. in the midst of the chaos they want something huge to change. people seem to think that just one major difference will make things better. everyone waits for that big moment. it rarely ever comes. instead i am going to make a case for the little things. for me, its the little things that make my day better. its the little things that make me smile. its the little things - that keep me going.

so i want to say thank you - for the little things. for the random text message saying simply "i love you" or "i'm thinking about you" or "hope you have a good day!" for the kind words over a phone call, or rather - the phone call itself. we all want to be thought of. someone simply picking up the phone to say "hi" means more than you will ever know. aww the little things. thank you for encouraging words. for simple phrases that make a difference. whether they are heard, or whether they are written between an online conversation (they mean the world to me).

the little things in life - well i guess you could say they save me. they let me know that i'm not alone. for it seems that God uses things like that in the times you need it the most. when you feel like your alone thats when He steps in and lets someone touch your life. through other people, He lets you know He is still there. Of course, He never really leaves - but sometimes we just need a little reminder. thats what little things are - reminders of God's love. His goodness. for He cares about each and every one of us, and He loves us unconditionally.

i would like to thank each and every one of you who have shared with me "little things". while they were simple and easy to do - they are in fact part of a lot bigger picture. maybe, little things aren't as little as you think. for in the end, they make a BIG difference.
