The Ordinary

 Daily Gratitude Year 13 - Day 228:  Today, I am grateful for the ordinary. 

“We are all called to be exceptional in the ordinary things, faithful in the little things, trustworthy when nobody’s looking.” Elisabeth Elliott 

I am pretty sure that the sweetest parts of life can be found in the ordinary things. 

Days can be hard. Troubled seasons may seem long. We can improve our attitudes and create sweetness in the ordinary moments. To be faithful in the small things adds up to being faithful in the big things. 

Do we look for opportunities to be faithful and trustworthy? Integrity is said to be measured by our choices when no one is looking. In the daily grind are opportunities to show real love through faithful service. 

“I know all the things you do. I have seen your love, your faith, your service, and your patient endurance. And I can see your constant improvement in all these things. -Revelation 2:19 (NLT)

The beauty of the ordinary is easily missed. Be present. Be intentional.

Today, I am grateful for the ordinary.
