Pieces of Heaven

Lately I have found it very easy to be down on myself or feel very overwhelmed. I have forgotten that there are things everyday that tell me I'm important or that some of these things that I worry about all the time just don't really matter in the big scheme of things. So I started to look for the little things in my life that make life worth while. As I did so, I began to see the little pieces of Heaven that are all around me. Here are some of my Pieces of Heaven what are yours?
  • The way Gus (my dog) walks me to the door when I leave for work in the mornings, sits down, and looks at me as if he were telling me to have a great day.
  • The change in the leaves at fall.
  • The feel of rain on my face.
  • The first tulip in the spring.
  • The way Karl talks to Fischer through my belly.
  • A song that happens to play on the radio at the right time when you least expect it and you realize that those words were meant for you at that time. At that moment, you have the realization that someone greater then yourself is telling you He heard your prayer.

After you and I talked about this over the weekend, I went home and started my own "Pieces of Heaven" list. Thanks for always being a wonderful example!

Hey Val! It's amazing how wonderfully happy you can be when you learn to appreciate the little things in life! I hope everything is going well with the pregnancy! He'll be here sooner than you know it! Enjoy every minute of your pregnancy, it's a miracle!
