LITTLE THINGS

Sometimes it is the little things in life that make us happy.  I have small collections of little things; glass beads, red buttons, pretty shells, unusual stones, sea glass of multi colors, old books, pencils, both leaded and colored, micro-tip pens, tiny mugs, pill boxes, and boxes of friends' letters.  What I enjoy is getting my little things out and looking at them.  Sometimes I draw, use a mug, or re-read a letter.  It just makes me happy, and that is up to me. 

A FAITH ISSUE

Didn't sleep much this week but I don't mind.  Much.  One thing I've noticed is what goes on in the night that isn't happening in the day.  It is very quiet so I can think and listen.  Sometimes a lone bird calls out, a car engine starts up, or a dog barks  That's about it, except for what's in my mind.

During a particularly rough week, I awoke to a voice, not audible, but a voice all the same.  I knew it was God and He knew I had been overthinking.  Again.  And He told me that everyone in my life was in a personal process of  their own, and that I had to be ok with whatever that is.  "Give them to Me," he said. 

It was a faith issue God was zeroing in on, and He was right.  I had to let go to Him what I  could not  control, to rest in the assurance of God's ability to make all things right when I surrender to His will.  And that has been part of my personal process in restoring some happiness to my life.
