Simple Pleasures

Have you ever noticed that some of the greatest pleasures on earth are simple ones? Yesterday, for example. I had a headache so I went and slept. A breeze blew over me and I felt so comforted. And today, I had time to clean my kitchen. Just seeing it more in order gave me satisfaction.

Sometimes I believe I make my relationship with God just too complicated. I am trying so hard to "do the right thing" that I forget sometimes the right thing is just praising God. I can't imagine anything that would please Him more, than if I took time to go aside and praise him. Just the two of us together. Simple but powerful.
