Attention to Small Things
"Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much."
— Luke 16:10
God of details,
I often chase after big things, spectacular achievements, extraordinary moments. And I miss the small things that make a life rich.
Teach me attention to details. To see beauty in the ordinary, celebrate small victories, appreciate discreet gestures. A cup of coffee savored slowly, an exchanged smile, a bird glimpsed through the window.
May I understand that life is built day by day in these small things. That great moments are rare but each day can be filled with small wonders if I pay attention.
Amen.
