It's the Little Things That Matter

It's the kind text from a dear friend.
It's the fact that they don't judge you.
It's the simple comment made to you in passing.
It's the smile when you're having a bad day.
It's the kind word of someone letting you know they're thinking about you.
It's a listening ear.
It's your friends and family who believe in you, even when they have no reason to
It's the patience of those around you.
It's the unconditional love of family and friends

Really. It's the little things that matter and make the biggest difference in life. To the 3 girls who showed up at my door yesterday with my favorite ice cream...THANK YOU! you'll never know how much that meant to me. 

I'm grateful to a love Heavenly Father who knows exactly when we need those tender mercies ("the little things") And to all of you, who have at one moment or the other been that tender mercy to me, I say "thank you" and please know that I love you.
