I have been thinking lately, how the little things that we do in life for other people are like the little things that God does for us. Now for me, one of my favorite things that the Lord gives me almost everyday, is to witness a sunset or a sunrise. I absolutely find myself to be astonished at the colors every time I see one. I know that a sunrise and a sunset happens every day but even so I love being surprised by this gift from God.
It made me think about when women receive specifically flowers from a man, and when then receive them not for any special occasion, just because. In my life I have only received flowers from a man because of a special occasion, and honestly I think that was only twice in my life. So I can't speak from direct experience of receiving flowers just because but I can speak from witnessing friends of mine receiving flowers, just simply because this person wants to let them know they love them. I would have to imagine that the feeling of the man bringing them to her or having them delivered must be something like seeing a sunset or a sunrise. It's an exciting and thrilling feeling. The colors that are embodied in the flowers just like the colors that can be drawn across the sky. It is something so beautiful, but it's more about what you feel when you see the things. It's the feeling of love, that someone loves you so much and these are ways of trying to express a feeling that is felt toward you.
Most women I know love flowers but they also love the little things in life. I can't speak for a man but I would have to imagine that the little things have so much meaning as well. I believe that these little things, these simple gestures are what keep relationships alive especially with Christ. The Lord does these "little things" for us every single day. It is up to us whether we recognize them and be examples of what it means to give little things to others, just because. Remember though, these little things in life don't have to be tangible items, not at all. The more you get to know people in your life you will quickly learn the things that bring joy to them.
1 John 3:18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
