Last weekend our family took off to the mountains for a few
days. Even though we saw the forecast of
white and cooler temperatures, we were troopers. What started out as a ‘I’m not sure we aren’t
going to freeze’ idea turned into an absolutely wonderful and relaxing weekend.
The mountains, for our entire family, is a place not only
that we all crave to go to but one that relaxes and rejuvenates us. The further west we went on Friday morning
the more snow we saw along the roadside.
When we got to our destination we were snow free with the sun
shining. The entire weekend I was in
absolute awe of the blessings and the opportunities I have. Looking around at my family and the
incredible mountain scenery, I couldn’t help but think how we can so easily
take for granted everything that God has given us. As our family sat around the fire having our
thanksgiving barbequed salmon (didn’t want to use all the propane on a turkey,
might need that for heat at night), we got in the discussion of what we are
thankful for. We live in a fast paced
world. Not enough time is given to truly
relaxing and appreciating, but when you sit back and truly think about what we
are so fortunate to have how can a person not just say WOW!
