Little Blessings.

Sometimes i get so caught up in the big provisions from God that i almost miss the little things that make Him such a personal God. Like today i had to work two shifts and i wasn't too excited about it, but as i was in the dining room i realized that for so long i have only seen sunrises. And sunrises are beautiful, but i like to sleep in every now and then and my job doesn't allow that often so i see the sun rise a lot. Tonight i got to see my first sunset in a long time. And it was breathtaking. The sky was the sweetest shades of blue and pink and purple. I seriously stood staring out the door and smiled at God. He is a God so involved in the details of my life that He knew i wanted to see a sunset instead of a sunrise for once and He made sure that He made it completely mind blowing. Also God provides for me constantly with bills and the basic necessities, but i keep seeing more and more how He also wants to give us little extras just for fun. A lady tipped me today and i smiled realizing how i could buy something just for me. God keeps showing up in my life over and over in sunsets and people and everywhere really. I am hard pressed to find something He is not in. I remembered today how i have always wondered what it would look like when God smiled and then i looked up at the beautiful, nearly blinding sun and realized that must be pretty close to what it is like. So today i am thankful for the hundred little places i see God in my life.
