Multitude Monday

I was driving home the other day and rounded a corner and as I saw the muted browns and gold of the landscape tears sprang into my eyes. The beauty in the colors at the end of autumn caused the words, "Thank you." roll of my lips. It was a scene that years ago I would have driven right by without a thought. And yet, as I've practiced thanksgiving these little things give pause to my day.

There are many of these small moments in life that bring a smile to my face and cause me to be thankful. They happen unexpectedly and can cause a bad day to turn into a really good one. They are reminders that God is present in each moment of my life. I am grateful.
