Little Things Mean A Lot
I have always known that it is the small things in life that really matter. That fact was made more obvious to me over this Father’s Day weekend.
It began on Saturday when I arrived home from running errands. My husband had received some father’s day cards in the mail and he had them lined up on the dining room table like toy soldiers in a row. With a big smile on his face he asked if I read the card from our youngest daughter. We are a blended family, each of us with adult children when we married. I have two daughters and my husband has two daughters and one son. This card was from my youngest daughter. In essence it said though they did not share the same genes and were not related by blood, they were related by love. She added her personal note which said “To an awesome father!” My husband said the card brought tears to his eyes.
Sunday added to his joy. We attended church service together. I was in the choir and he was in the congregation. Shortly after service started, in walked my husband’s son, his daughter, granddaughter and grandson. The look on his face as they approached him at the pew where he was sitting was the look of a kid who just saw his favorite toy under the Christmas tree. He was not expecting any of them. His face glowed throughout the service. On the way home, he commented that this was one of the best father’s days he can remember. Except for weddings or funerals, he and his son had not worshiped together for years.
How often do we miss opportunities to bring joy to someone by a very simple deed?

Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!

Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
