. . . only come when I am actually paying attention. Otherwise, I miss the blessing and the opportunity to give thanks.
Today's example? I went to the grocery store prepared to spend 1.89/lb for 80% lean ground beef. Not a super great price, but tolerable, and we'd gone without long enough. While leaning over the meat I found a marked-down package of 85% lean ground beef for just 1.49/lb. "Thank you Lord!" escaped my lips without me realizing I was thinking it.
A year ago I would have missed it, simply because I bought ground beef whenever I wanted it regardless of price.
I'll have to pay attention more often so that my Lord may be more greatly praised.

That is so true, it is usually the little things in life that God blesses us with. And we seem to be always looking for the Big things.
