Little things bring comfort

So many of you have suffered through my postings of heartache blah blah blah....thank you by the way ;) Saturday I had a change of heart. I had sat down at what could be considered our home office which is really the dining room made into an office space, and began to put together 4 Activity Day binders. What is an A.D. binder? A white binder filled with information on how to accomplish goals for the Faith in God awards for young girls ages 8-11. A tedious project that I had put off for several months now. As I began to lay out all of the necessary paperwork, booklets and cards. I found myself lost in the project. I had found a peace that I hadn't felt in weeks. I wasn't thinking about Jeff's health probs or how I was going to take care of my family but I was enjoying myself, thinking of the faces my girls as they would receive their very own A.D. binder. They cherish those binders, most bring them to every activity that we have. They are colored brightly and full of extra papers or projects gathered from our meetings.
I was reminded that when we are doing the right things, even the little things like putting together Activity Day binders we can feel comfort.
I attended church with my whole family today and continued feeling that peace as I handed out each binder to the girls personally. I even got a hug from one of the girls!! How cool is that!! It was just as I had imagined with smiles on their faces as they expressed grattitude, for now they have there very own A.D. binder.
I just love these little moments in life don't you? I am very grateful to have these life experiences.
