Last Sunday, I brought in some chocolate eggs to hand out to the kids in my Sunday School class. While Miss Mary was telling the children the story, I put one on every napkin alongside the usual graham cracker and water. After the kids were finished with their snacks and everyone was coloring the coloring page, a boy came up to me and said in a very serious tone, "Are you the one that brought the chocolate eggs?" I said, "Yes". Then he looked at me with very sincere eyes and said, "Thank you." It's funny how good that little "thank you" made me feel. I did such a small thing and didn't expect a thank you, but it really felt nice. I am going to learn from that little boy and make sure that I say "thank you" more often. . . especially to God. He is so good and I'm sure that when we take the time to say "thank you", He smiles like I did last Sunday.
1 Chronicles 29:13 "Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name."
oh Cheryl I so love your blog. I was just catching up! I love the story of that thank you for the egg. Such a small thing, but so huge!
ReplyDeleteWe got to go to Trader Joes in Tennessee. I love that place. I think our 2 favorite finds are the organic blue chips and I admit... the raw crunchy almond butter is pretty awesome. I still prefer my homemade smoooooth... but when in a pinch, I'd totally be for TJ's raw crunchy!
