Why You Should Never Stop Getting Excited About Little Things
Sweet friend, there is something beautiful about staying excited about little things, and I hope you never lose it. 💜
Somewhere between growing up, paying bills, and keeping life running, many of us quietly stopped noticing the small wonders. We saved our smiles for big milestones and forgot that joy often shows up in the simplest moments. Today I want to gently remind you that those little moments are not small at all. They are gifts.
Why It Matters to Stay Excited About Little Things
When you allow yourself to be delighted by something small, you are saying yes to the gift of being alive. A child doesn’t need a reason to be thrilled by a puddle or a ladybug. Somewhere deep inside, you still carry that same wonder.
Jesus even spoke of it: “Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 18:3) Childlike wonder is not something to outgrow. It’s something to treasure.
Finding Joy: Excited About Little Things in Everyday Moments
Here are a few little blessings I hope you’ll let yourself enjoy this week:
- A beautiful sunset. Let the colors stop you in your tracks, even for a minute.
- A favorite song. Turn it up and sing along, whether you can carry a tune or not!
- An unexpected visit. A friend at your door or a call out of the blue is love with its shoes on.
- A butterfly landing nearby. Some of us believe these are little hellos from heaven. 🦋
- A quiet cup of coffee wrapped in a cozy blanket, with nothing to do but be still.
None of these cost a thing, yet each one can lift your spirit and remind you how blessed you are.
God Wants You Excited About Little Things
I truly believe God is in the details. He paints the sky each evening, plants wildflowers where no one is looking, and sends a butterfly across your path on the very day your heart is heavy. These are not accidents. They are His way of saying, “I see you, and I love you.”
“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24)
How to Stay Excited About Little Things Today
Pick just one moment today and really notice it. Put the phone down, take a deep breath, and let yourself feel it. Then tell someone about it. Joy grows when we share it. And when life feels heavy, remember that you are not alone, you are deeply loved, and life is still full of reasons to smile.
