God is in the details

So I often take pictures as of late thinking that I will use them in a post.  I have several pictures with no subtitle and description.  So here's to those pictures.

After Joshua's post, (thanks Joshua) and just trying to be happier, and enjoy life, and look for the good, I stopped to take a picture of this.  We didn't have a dishwasher (well, not the machine at least) and as such, this kids did A LOT of dishes.  They actually got pretty good at it.  And as mounds of endless dishes always seemed to grace the counters, whether dirty of clean, I noticed how my kids would often make it a game of doing the dishes.  "In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun.  You find the fun, and 'snap' the job's a game."  And it worked.

So because kids are natural at this process, Rhett would try to see how high he could get his tower of clean, rinsed dishes. This is his masterpiece.

We have had this plant in our window sill for several weeks.  The kids got one of those seed and pot grow kits.  And since it sits in the window right where I stand to do all those dishes.  I've had plenty of time to look at it.  And one morning, I noticed these tiny little leaves.  So small.  So intricate.  And that's when it hit me.  God is in the details.  Even down to the smallest plant.  He doesn't just throw it together, like I sometimes cook, with a little of this and that, not sure how it will turn out.  Those small leaves are precisely placed. Yet so tiny, not screaming to be noticed.  And if God is in the details of this small plant, he is in the details of our lives.  He cares about the small things that are important to you and that bother you.  Those small things that you think you should not let get to you quite so much, and yet they still do.  God is in the details because He created them.
