Mindful of Little Things By Brenda Drake

We desire to know the news and beliefs of the entire world.  We all have our opinions and theories of who is right and what really matters. Truly the life in tune with the wonders of God’s gifts of everyday things, which encourage joy and peace instead of promoting turmoil and strife, is more content and happy.

Mindful of Little Things

Be mindful of the little things in life.
That causes to the heart certain delight.
Then at other times let them pass,
You will be well blessed in the act.
Does this sound a little strange to your ear?
It is pure wisdom if you hear.
There are little signs that are meant to be;
Like small gifts delivered for you to see.
Such as the pretty butterfly or bird or a flower’s bloom,
Or like sunshine that floods the room.
Or perhaps a heart-shaped cloud in the sky;
Be mindful; do not let them pass by.
Perhaps an unexpected loving tap of family or friend,
Or even a smile delivered by one of them.
Then there are little things you need to ignore or toss aside.
That is toxic and cause certain discomfort inside.
Like the sharp word of either stranger and friend,
And the devil’s lies that try to sneak in.
The stolen glances in areas unhealthy for the soul,
Be mindful to repent them; for God already knows.
Be mindful; take care to on the right path stay,
Remember to keep in mind Jesus is the Way.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Colossians 3:15

A fool’s wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame. Proverbs 12:16
