The Simple Things
It’s sometimes just the simple things
That mean so much to me –
Their value lies in deeper worth
Than other folks can see.
They represent the precious things
The Lord has kindly done,
The ways He’s taught me of Himself
And battles He has won.
They help me think of special times
With those I dearly love,
Of moments spent alone with God
And blessings from above.
Each time I think of what they mean,
They bring a smile or tear –
They’re full of cherished memories
These simple things so dear.

This poem really touched me….I think it is my favorite!!!
So very true. So often we allow ourselves to complicate things and find that in the end, they really don’t matter. It truly is the simple, less than perfect times and memories that have the most meaning.
Thank you for reminding me of that.
