The Sweetest Thing...

Sometimes, the sweetest things happen at just the right moment; just when you need it the most.
I have a friend that runs an AFS (adult foster care) and I am there atleast once a week. I've slowly started to get to know the clients, but a couple weeks ago they got a new client and I haven't really had a chance to get to know him yet. One thing I DO know about him though, he LOVES to color pictures. On Sunday my friend told me at church that she had a picture for me in the truck. It turns out, he colored a picture for ME and asked her to give it to me.
After the week I had, I considered this a little ray of sunshine. It definitely brought a smile to my face. Someone that has only met me once displayed a simple kindness through his picture. It really brightened my day.
It just goes to show that no matter how bad the day (or week, or month, or year) is, God will always bring little blessings into our life. It's our responsibility to start counting them. I'm definitely going to work on being more aware of mine. =)
