Motivational Monday: Thank you Lord for the littlest things!

Apr. 21, 2008 • 4:03 PM


(Background info): We are currently doing a preschool level lapbook in our home. I am making it with my 3 1/2 year son through a meme at Little Laplinks. The theme this month is Rainbows. We have been doing all kinds of fun rainbow projects and learning our colors as well.

Well... here is just a small reminder of how amazing our Lord is... He loves and cares for His flock so much. He even cares about the littlest things.

I love when he puts things into our day that are definately little gifts from him. When I find a book I recently thought to myself "I'd love that"...then it shows up at a yard sale or the Discount Bargain Outlet- that's a little gift from the Lord!

 Well... he did one of these wonderfully sweet things this week- just for my son (I believe). It just tickled my heart.

The other evening at supper we were talking about our rainbow work with daddy at supper. I started taking dishes to the sink for clean up and found this on the counter.....

Isn't God so GREAT to put little things like this into our days- just to make us smile! My son thought it was so-o neat that God put a rainbow right on our counter for him!

Thank you, Lord!

Thank you, Lord, for simple things

that brighten every day

like sunshine in the morning

and daffodils in May.

Thank you, too, for friends who care

when tears begin to fall

and thank you, too, for answered prayer...

the greatest gift of all!

Thank you for each spring bouquet

and for the summer rose,

for rainbows in the meadow

and every stream that flows.

Thnak you, Lord, for simple things

which really are quite grand

for each one is a miracle

wrought by the Master's hand!

poem written by: Clay Harrison

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK!

The rainbow lapbook is a great idea for teaching colors. I should write that one down!
I really like your animal magnets too. I will have to keep my eyes open for those.
