A child’s smile can be more than just a sweet moment—it can be a reminder that God is near. Today we’ll see how even life’s smallest joys point us back to the Giver of every good and perfect gift.

Have you ever stopped to wonder if that small moment of joy was more than just coincidence?

Sometimes God’s goodness shows up in the quietest ways—a laugh, a sunrise, or even a smile. In today’s episode, we’ll look at how noticing those simple joys can remind us of God’s steady presence and generosity.

Main Scripture:

James 1:17 – “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why small joys—like a child’s smile—are more than random moments
• How to train your heart to notice God’s gifts in the middle of busy days
• A practical reminder to let gratitude turn ordinary life into worship

Key takeaway:

Every good gift in your life—big or small—is a reminder of God’s love and faithfulness. Don’t rush past them; pause, notice, and give thanks.
