little bits of love

amazing, that when you pay attention... His love is everywhere...  some days {like today} You just sense Him smiling over you and grinning when you see another little bit of His love.  Other days {like yesterday} it's harder to see His hand anywhere because your eyes are glued onto your selfish self and all you're not getting.  It's all about perspective.

If only I could fix my eyes on Him everyday.  I guess that's the goal.  I don't intend to stay in that grumpy place- it just happens.  And it is work to get out of it.  Today I did the work.  And it is always worth- how do I keep forgetting that it.is.always.worth.it.?!
