Simple Things

I met Jesus today:

A friendly smile and "good morning."
A thank you for a small thing that probably didn't even merit a "thank you."
An opportunity given to me to help someone else in the smallest of ways
A touch on the arm that said "I'm glad you're here. Reachable."
A note that said "you are loved."
A word of encouragement.
An unexpected gift


It always causes me to reflect at the end of each day--how many opportunities did I miss this day to touch someone's life for Jesus? And now the day is gone. But, ah, tomorrow . . .

We miss an awful lot of blessing each day because we forget a simple truth: The omnipresent, Creator God who rules and "inhabits" the universe--and beyond--is in the details of our everyday lives. Are you looking for Him there? The smallest details of your life and mine are orchestrated by His hand of love and wisdom. You did not have one coincidence today.

And I do mean "orchestrated." Did you spend your day and miss the music--miss the symphony He played for you? "Life is a symphony . . ."
