I've come to the conclusion that I take way too many "not so little" things for granted these days. The other night, I was staying at a friend's house and I forgot to bring my inhaler. All night I was struggling to breathe and realized that I'm so used to my routine of taking my asthma medications that I forget how blessed I am to be breathing normally on a regular basis. I forget how blessed I am to wake up and see the light of day and have the ability to walk to work. I fail to see how blessed I am to even have a job. I fail to realize that every day God reveals himself to me more and more.
So, a word of advice: take time to thank God for the not so little things. Realize how blessed you are to be breathing and seeing and hearing and walking because some aren't so privileged to be able to do the same.
