Matthew 17:20 NIV
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
It is amazing how small things can make sure a big impact on our days. I have had small things remind me of loved ones that have passed on. A benefit that reminded me of Phil Clodfelter, going by Bryan's uncle's house made me think of another uncle and then thought of his wife that had passed. Then my sister Julie posted a picture of the rubber ducks that used to sit on Mom's bathroom counter. Later on I found an item that belong to Bryan's dad and in the same drawer found a picture of my nephew Nick. All of these wonderful people have left my life in the last seven years. I found myself sitting in the chair in the back feeling a little sad and missing them all. Small things that made a big impact on my mind and reminded me of how much they all meant to me. Small things with Steven can mean big fits. He was mad because I wouldn't copy a picture for him or let him sleep in the camper. That means he got mad and did some hitting and kicking. He threw the computer, which means he lost it for the night. After Bryan got home from church Steven got happy again. Maybe it was the hug that Daddy gave him. Bryan told Steven he looked like he needed a hug. It seemed to be what he needed. We moved to the back couch and turned on the tv. Steven laid there watching Sesame Street on the Kindle and Los Lonely Boys on the tv. When he decided to go back to the other room he said, "have fun Lonely Boys?". Which means he enjoyed it. To me all of this is small, but who knows to Steven they could be huge. Which is something we need to remember, two people rarely look at the same thing in the exact same way. So, I did find myself dealing some today and don't know that some of these instances today I will ever get past dealing with. It wasn't bad, just sad.

This is so true, Sherri ---the little things that we see are often missed by others eyes . I have noticed more personal things over the last few years --and it becomes more and more important that I do notice them ! It was strange that one day this week , I too felt the words , "if you have faith the size of a mustard seed ..." We don't have to discard the memories, especially if they bring a smile to our face . God Bless you on your journey of life !
