Little Things

So often now my hope is for big things: that God will sanctify His Church, bring revival, grant repentance to Christians so caught in mires of sin and discouragement, set in motion and preserve life-long love stories, for people desperately ill to be healed.  But I find myself overlooking hope for little things.  Can I hope that God will give me wisdom to see how to act in difficult relationships?  Is there hope that a friend who spoke critically will be edifying the next time we speak?  Do I hope for my sniffles not to turn into a cold?  Can I encourage my friends to hope that their children won't be so disobedient today?
