Joy in the Little Things

Today I indulged in one of my greatest pleasures….. Baking! I love to bake!!! I don’t know why really it’s just always been something I love to do :)

I decided to make my favorite type of cookie, monster cookies. Delicious, peanut buttery goodness with the yummy bonus of chocolaty M&Ms.

Perhaps cookies should not bring me so much joy, but after all if you can’t find joy in the little things what can you find joy in? Our lives are defined by a series of small events. Occasionally those events will morph into one large monumental event, but generally we stick to the small stuff.

Personally I’m quite content with my small stuff, I’m not sure I could handle a life full of big moments. Yeah sure, a couple more big, life altering events might be nice (as long as they’re life changing for the better!), but I’d much rather have a life full of small things that make small differences in people’s lives than one big thing that made one big difference in someone’s life.

So for now, I’ll stick to baking cookies, and that will be enough. I will get joy from that and trust God for tomorrow’s joy.

Go bake some cookies!
