Every morning, I try to make time to read a devotion. Today's devotion was exactly what I needed to hear. It was about how to find enjoyment in life even though it may seem mundane and dull. Here is the challenge that was given "Do something today that gives you satisfaction. Then give God thanks. Take pleasure in your work, no matter how mundane or demanding it is. Give thanks to God for the ability to work and to rest. At your next meal, chew slowly. Taste the flavors. Feel the texture and temperature—and give thanks to God for your food, regardless how simple or gourmet." (Proverbs 31 ministries). The verse is found in Ecclesiastes 8:15 "So I commended enjoyment, because a man has nothing better under the sun than to eat, drink, and be merry; for this will remain with him in his labor all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun." Pause and ask yourself "How often do I think God for the small things as you go about your day?" I truly hope that each of you have a blessed day.
