In the Bible, this fellow Simeon is promised that before he dies he will see the Messiah, the King, who will fix all the mess, before Simeon dies. Well, wouldn’t Simeon expect to see something quite grand and spectacular? I suspect so, but what he saw was an ordinary baby with ordinary and poor parents. Yet, Simeon believed that there was something grand in this small package. And there is. How big is an engagement ring? Yet it is very grand and important. How big is one more day sober for an addict? And yet it is very big. Things don’t always look or feel important, that are very important. So let us celebrate our great littleness. And hello to March.

Thank you for this, it makes me smile! I'm a huge fan of "the little big things" we are each gifted, each day. Could just be a smile or the way the light is coming through the leaves on a tree. So many things not to take for granted, and paying attention helps. ❤️
