Wonder and Inspiration in the Little Things

On Facebook last week, I asked readers to tell me about their long weekends…one reader by the name of MaryAnn Valckx wrote in to tell me of this lovely little story:

You asked how our weekend and if anything wonderful and inspirational had happened, well a Hummingbird flew into my back yard…!!!! In Lethbridge this is not such a common occurrence….but when he flew away before I could grab my camera…I shouted out…”Thank you God! ”  Which took my fiance aback.  I explained to him that we got the greatest gift by just watching her in my flowers, even if I didn’t get a photo.  The next day, I received that great gift again, but still no camera! I went in, and when I returned there she was….GONE! I sat and said some prayers, something I have not said as much as I have since reading your books.  I thank you….just finding a lot of things a little more peaceful, and accepting. I did make my Thanks to God….through my life, but closeness was not in my life …I feel a lot coming back, and feeling a lot more at peace!!! Thank you sir!

And by the way….the Hummingbird did come back, and this time I had my camera!

Always remember to look for the wonder and inspiration that God provides – even in the little things!
