My World of Small

 Proverbs 10:22 "The blessing of the Lord; it maketh rich."

We have moved into the world of "small".Downsizing is our game and our lifestyle has drastically changed. Our dining table seats two. We have an apartment size frig and range so I shop for much smaller condiment bottles and packaged foods. We have half as much storage space so I can't  keep 10 rolls of paper towels in my cabinet. There has to be a place for everything and lots of frivolities have been weeded out. 

I've had to adjust to "small" meals for two. At first, I was less than excited about it all, but I like a challenge, and It's become quite the challenge to make these changes!

It's a choice we made and it has been rather nice to declutter and live a simpler lifestyle. I'm ok with it and have adjusted and even decided it's cozy and fun!

 Besides our "tiny" personal space, I also enjoy my childish indulgences with my two youngest grandchildren with all the tiny cups and saucers, bitty cookies, and little sandwiches on a cute small table perched on children's chairs. I am enchanted with Savannah's cute, pink, kid kitchen and Easton's slick, little red bike!! I was really sad when my older grandkids decided tea parties weren't the "thing" anymore.  Maybe I'm reverting to childhood!

 

I wasn't aware that I was so into the world of "small", until the other morning. I was asking the Lord for a blessing and I realized I was asking for a "little blessing"; just enough to get me by.  I guess I was busy and thought that it would be a small thing for Him to drop me down a portion to keep me going. I was amused and a little upset with myself when I was reminded of the scripture in Malachi where it says He will "pour out a blessing that cannot be contained"!!

So I just stopped my busyness and asked Him for a Big Blessing! One that would make me feel rich!!! It was a refreshing reunion with Him after feeling a little poor and needy for a few days.

I think, living in my world of small, I was feeling pretty unselfish, asking for just a cupful!  Though I love my "littles", how wonderful to be reminded that I don't have to downsize when it comes to God's blessings!!
