Sometimes it's the little things

I prepared dinner last night and set the table for my family. The girls usually have their special plates and cups, but last night, I just set the table with regular dinner plates for all, glasses for iced tea, and full sets of silverware at each plate. Natalie climbed up into her seat before the others came in to eat. She saw the dinner plate, iced tea glass just like dad's, and a table knife at her plate. Her eyes got large, and she said "Wow! Thanks mom, for fixing me a glass just like yours." Then she noticed something else "And I have a KNIFE!! THANKS MOM!!! I'll make sure Halli has one too." Who knew something so small could bring such joy? Maybe I should use this as a reminder to always be thankful and show my appreciation for even the 'little' things my Father does for me...
