There are little things that can make our day, things we don't even normally think about. They may be minor or not thought about on a regular basis that someone notices and it makes you appreciate some gift of God he bestowed on you.
At Mass on Sunday, I was feeling a little off or just in a slump. Going to Mass really felt like a spiritual lift. The lady right in front of me after Mass ended complimented me on my singing voice and how it was a real gift for her to hear it during Mass. I was so touched since though I do participate in the Mass signing, I'm not always aware of my voice. I just sing!
My sweet sister was visiting for a few days, and we would usually get ready together at the same time. She mentioned my eyebrows and complimented how they look and if I use any eyebrow color enhancing. Nope, they're all natural! Again, something I don't really think about but appreciated to hear.
My other sweet sister hosted the bunch of us for a birthday celebration for our sister and brother-in-law. Her house was such a gift, it fit all of us perfectly and plenty of places to sit and for the kids to play around in the backyard. And the cakes she baked were so delicious! We were all surprised they were packaged mix since they tasted like something from a bakery or a fancy recipe. We were all impressed.
When saying goodbye at the party, my other sweet sister told me she was praying for me, and more particularly praying a novena for me! What a rich, unexpected blessing. I was so touched.
So beautiful to take note of all these little blessings sprinkled throughout the weeks.. it's a great reminder to be attentive and hold an attitude of gratitude.
