I have just been thinking about some of the many things that have brought a smile to my face over the last couple of weeks. I wanted to make mention of them - some blessings are smaller than others, but all have made me pause and given my heart a little lift!
The primary program - Our ward had all the children dress in white - all 180 children. It was a beautiful, eternal scene. Kali is the very youngest Sunbeam in the entire primary (as her birthday is on New Year's Eve), but she sang like a champ on the front row. She swayed her little head back and forth to the songs and was very intent on following the music leader; even to the point of directing and cutting off the kids and singing/mouthing the words in an exaggerated manner. Oh I wish I'd had a camera to catch her sweet little shining face.
Wicked - My dear friend gave me tickets to Wicked for my birthday in July. We went to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory beforehand - what a delightful night! And an incredible musical - the music, the acting, the message was AWESOME! I'm so blessed to have such good friends.
Sprouts - OK, the sales at this store are amazing. And the latest - avocados were 4 for $1. I just got happy looking at my 8 avocados for $2. Then even happier eating the sprout/tomato/avocado/turkey sandwiches!
The delay start on our oven - I just figured this out today. It made me very happy. I put a frozen casserole in the oven before church, set the delay start and it was ready to eat when we walked in the door. It's the little things.
My children's prayers - Trenton's prayer last night "...and please bless that I will play basketball as good as my Dad someday. And that Kali will stop rubbing her feet on the dresser so I can finish my prayer." Kali's morning prayer she says by herself that I overheard: "And please bless that Uncle John can come back down to earth. Please bless we can see him again, because I miss him."

Thank you for sharing. I tried to write in my journal but still can't so I wrote a letter to Grandpa instead. Maybe I should start a blog, too.
Thank you for the reminder to remember the little things. I love my kids prayers! They always remember the little things!
Those are all wonderful things.
How fun that you got to see "Wicked!" Wasn't it fantastic??
We don't have a Sprouts here, but you are the second person to tell me how great the ones in CO are. I'll have to try them next time we come for a visit. :)
