While out for a walk, my daughters handed me a little bouquet of flowers and a leaf that had fallen to the ground. They were just weeds, but when I looked down, it was shaped like a heart! It was just a little thing, but it was so beautiful that I remember it. Our lives can be so hectic and busy, packed with big important things that we are responsible to take care of every day. It is so easy to overlook the seemingly unimportant little things in life, but those are often the things that make life beautiful!  In a child's eyes, the little things are still so big. They still have wonder and amazement. They can appreciate fun and beauty in ways that we as adults have somehow forgotten. When the kids come running to show me something, or tell me about something "so awesome," I can brush them off because I am busy and have more important things to do, or, I can take a moment to enjoy the little things, and try to see the world through their eyes. In the end, it will be those little moments that we remember so much more then paying the rent or cleaning the kitchen.
Take time to enjoy the little moments with your loved ones, don't let them slip by unnoticed. Stop for a minute and enjoy the beauty around you! Here in Alaska, the summer is quickly turning into fall. The leaves are starting to turn yellow. It is a wonderful time to enjoy the beauty of God's creation, but also a great reminder that things change so quickly...so, "Enjoy the little things!"
