little things

I have this weird feeling in my stomach and I know it's because I'm trying to hold back tears- because I am happy and sad all at the same time. Ever been there?
I started off this morning with a walk down our street. I was planning on writing a post about little things that make me smile. When Mr. Bill passes me each morning (whether he's headed home from his morning stroll or in his truck headed to the golf course) he smiles and waves or speaks....it's so nice to see happiness on the face of that gentleman and I always, I mean every time, find myself smiling too! I enjoy so much walking down the street during the time that neighbors are leaving for a busy day at work. Saying "good morning" to complete strangers makes me feel so good. Those little things in life...
And then, I couldn't help but want to post about this too- these new blogs I keep finding. My newest favorite is Bring the Rain and if you read backwards into it far enough you'll understand why. I think I might be discovering my own spiritual gift by the way. I read a new one today called Our Amazing Mary Grace. They both are about families who lost babies. I know, you think I'm crazy because I like to cry and read these sad stories. Okay. So, maybe I am a little different. But it's not the sad stories and the videos that draw me back time and time again. It's the amazing strength that these moms have and it's the awesome power of Christ and their faith that brings me to tears. I feel that through these other people I am growing in my Christian walk and that is so important.
Maybe you aren't so much into the "bloggy" world. It definitely takes time away from other tasks I should and need to be doing. But, if it helps me with my daily walk with HIM, then it is so worth the time!! Try it sometime.....click on a favorite in my list, click on one of their favorites, and you never know where you might go - You might find some "little thing" that makes you smile:)
