The Little Things
While riding the bus to the airport this morning, I met a kind stranger who, after taking a deep draught of his starbucks iced vanilla frappuccino, said, with something of a breathless passion, "Oh thank you Lord."
I smiled, looked at him, and said, "Amen!"
He replied, "Right on...I really do try to say thank you every day..."
I nodded, thought of how many people go through that daily prayer ritual (either verbally, or simply with unspoken devotions) while dosing with whatever is their favorite caffeine delivery instrument.
I added, with a smile, pointing to his coffee: "Its the little things you have to be thankful for." He nodded, agreed, and returned my grin.
It really is about the little things.
