Appreciating The Little Things

I just finished watching ABC's Extreme Home Makeover. This week they built a new house for Job McCully and his family. Job and his family spent more than a year in St. Louis waiting for and recovering from a double lung transplant. Watching the McCully's receive a beautiful new home was delightful.

Rob and Tina's bedroom contains a picture frame with a phrase that Ty heard Tina speak earlier in the show. She said, "you have to appreciate the little things that other people take for granted." I want to appreciate the little things. Tonight, before the show, I just sat and watched Katie and Jake run around the living room, carrying pillows, running smack into each other, and falling on the floor giggling uncontrollably. Now there is something worth appreciating.
