They say don’t sweat the small stuff.  I also read another tag line that said, “it’s all small stuff.”  It makes sense when we stop to recognize that life happens in little moments, one at a time.  Even the big things that happen are simply an end result of a series of small stuff.  As much as we may pride ourselves on multitasking, we do not actually do more than one thing at a time.  We allude ourselves into thinking that we actually do more than one small thing at a time.  Perhaps there is a reason why the day can be broken down into minutes and seconds.  Maybe we are meant to stop and treasure those individual small moments.  When I think back on special times in my life.  It is the small gestures of kindness that I remember most–a look, a smile, a hug, a card, a wink.  These are all ways that God uses us to remind us that He is near. This means that it is in these small ways that we get to be God for each other.  We are here to love because we are love.  Sometimes love is cutting through a line at the airport to declare one’s love before she get’s on the plane so that everyone applauds (insert similar scene from most romantic comedies).  But most of the time it is when mom made us lunch and put a note in it to say hello.  I get reminders all the time throughout the day that my date w/God is not just about our morning time together but when I am stuck in traffic and see a bumper sticker that makes me laugh.  So don’t sweat the small stuff, be in the throes of the small stuff so that you can experience  what it means to be and bring love to others and to yourself.  My prayer for you today is that you have the eyes to see and the ears to hear the small ways that God is rejoicing over you taking one breath after another throughout the day.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
