Ta-duh

When it comes to the "AH HA" moments in life, I like them big.

Big enough to make me cry. 

Big enough that I write them on paper.

Big enough that it comes all at once like a giant avalanche. 

And big enough that they are engraved into my memory, 

like a broken etch-a-sketch that won't erase.

But I don't always get them that way.

Sometimes they come in small simple packages,

that are easily looked over and forgotten

On occasion they are special enough for me to notice.

My eyes are open, my mind is free 

and my heart is vulnerable to anything.

These small, simple packages are suddenly popping up (Like daisies!!! --Mulan) all around me. Little by little, they've been turning into the "AH HA" moment I've been needing.

A beautiful song, with meaningful words that 

echoes in my head every minute.

A hug coming from a mother, that for the longest time, 

seemed so distant.

A night of laughter crammed in a car, 

shared with my favorite girls in the world.

A co-worker telling me everything will be OK, 

when I'm convinced otherwise.

The cool Fall air becoming stronger everyday, 

persuading me into cozy sweaters. 

Council from a prophet, who lived long ago, 

printed on paper for me to read now.

Personal scripture and life instruction from God, 

whenever I need be reminded of His love for me

These are my glorious, small packages

 that have saved me from a week of confusion and sadness.

What are yours?
