“Do you like it? I made it just for you.”
I saved that quote years ago and came across it a couple of days ago. The idea is instead of just training ourselves to notice and be grateful for the little things in life that touch us — the morning light coming through the window, the sound of birds, the feeling of a gentle breeze brushing your cheek — treat them as precious gifts someone made just for us. Can you picture yourself saying that? If so, what do you think your reaction would be?
When I use that sentence I feel loved, cherished, and cared about. So I would be a fool not to use it more. But I know we’re all built differently and some tools work for some people and not for others. For instance, affirmations are powerful for me, and a lot of people say affirmations make them feel worse — instead of empowering them, affirmations make them feel inadequate.
So what about you? Would “Do you like it? I made it just for you.” work for you too?

I love it!
🙂
…often I’m not able to put thoughts into words. That doesn’t mean that I don’t have thoughts!
Yes! I’m a visual thinker too. (I assume you think visually because of all your photos.)
Yes, made with love is always precious!
🙂
I’d feel blessed! I don’t remember anyone ever saying that, but God willing, there’s always tomorrow.
🙂
It never occurred to me that all those little things were made for me. What a wonderful thought!
🙂
It makes you feel speciak
Special I meant
🙂
I made it just for you would be a welcome phrase. Knowing that something was created just for me makes it so much more special. And knowing that it’s something like a flower or a sunrise, puts everything in a whole new prospective.
🙂
if some says that to me, I would think on NO, but if I think about the things I love and think God made this just for me, I would feel wonderful. I will start doing that. I am not fond of things that are home made. never have been. unless of course it is food… the kind that makes me fat.
Yesterday the temp said 101 on our thermometer at 5 pm. I walked under the avocado tree with Beau and the heat changed and the Gulf wind was blowing my clothes around and I thought I love this breeze. next time I will think, God mad this just for me. stepping out into the rest of the yard was like the desert, and the wind could not help.
Yes, it has to be something we like. Good luck with the heat!
I do love that Jean. I will have to do and remember that.
🙂
Interesting post. I need to do that.

Thanks for sharing this! I am not very good with words.
