Multitude Monday

So often I look for God in the big events and the major miracles in my life. When these don't happen I begin to think that He is not working. Yet, more often than not, He is in the small things. In all the little blessings that add up. You have to be careful and look closely to see them. But they are there. They are there in a word of encouragement or a small gift or just a smile.

God's blessings can be missed if you don't look for them. This week I saw God's hand in a multitude of little ways.

I'm thankful for Blessings #231-253
