It's the little things in life that make it worth living.
Coffee creamer, in the spectrum of the universe, is not what most (or any) persons would consider to be important by any stretch of the imagination. It's one of the items in your cart that is a non issue. Either you have creamer....or you don't. No one will be rushed to the emergency room nor will massive amounts of counseling be needed to reverse the effects of missing creamer.
But, oh....it sure made my morning this morning.....
My heart actually jumped. Briefly and almost unnoticeably, but it jumped at the thought of creamer!
Ha! Laugh if you will. Consider me a silly "girl" who is just too emotionally charged for her own good. Too optimistic for this considerably pessimistic world that we reside in perhaps? In spite of the absurdity and insignificance of it all creamer made me happy this morning! It really, truly blessed my heart almost immediately because it was there!
Chocolate Toffee...that is the flavor. It is good. REALLY good! And I had absolutely forgotten that I had thrown it into my cart the other day. It was a side thought really....it hadn't even been on my shopping list....just saw it and thought, "Oooooo that flavor might be quite tasty!" Grabbed it. Dropped it into the cart and BAM!!! All the makings for my "Great Tuesday Morning" were within my grasp! Just by grabbing the tasty creamer....
Who would've thought.
Who would've thought that God could use creamer? I suppose I did, deep down in my soul. He IS God, you know.
And I love Him.....
I passionately love how he can use something like creamer, for example, to remind us that happiness must come from within. It isn't the fact that I had this chocolate toffee creamer that made me happy. Goodness no! It was the gentle reminder that the little things in life are what make life so enjoyable....not always the yacht and the condo on the beach. The most important things in life are usually free. (Or in my case, $2.) Happiness is at each of our fingertips. Perched on the end waiting for us to notice, to stop stressing, to breathe in deep the blessings that are EVERYWHERE if we but look.
Thank you God for creamer.
Thank you that I have the money to buy creamer. Thank you for my pink polka-dotted coffee cup that cost $0.25 at a garage sale. Thank you that my taste buds do exactly what you created them to do. Thank you that I have a computer to drink my coffee in front of. Thank you that I have fingers to type and share my thoughts with the people that are most important to me. Thank you for all the people who are most important to me; The people who have given my heart a place to rest on more than one occasion.
Thank you for this morning and my own personal hug that I got from you, in the form of
chocolate
toffee
creamer.
