Life is full of small blessings. We might fail to notice them, but they are there. Open wider and you'll see them.
The office I sit in every day has 30 feet of glass along one wall looking to the outside. There are trees and a pond with fountains and every spring and fall, special visitors drop in - just on the other side of the glass. I've sat there for 13 years now, but I never get tired of seeing them arrive. The trees start to bloom - everything turns green - the birds start pecking at the feeders I've hung on the tree branches - and the geese return. And with them come the cycle of life - goslings.
Sometimes there are 300 geese out there walking, sleeping, eating, honking, swimming, bathing, bickering, socializing and pooping. Today was especially fun because I saw a family of geese really up close and personal -- walking right on the other side of the wall of glass. Dad, Mom, and eight goslings. If my windows opened, I could have touched them - that's how close they were.

Maybe it seems like a very small thing to you - but it is testament to God's creation and creativity and care for all things living. I am blessed.
You be blessed, too.
