It was a beautiful day today. The sun was shining, but not too hot. The light breeze was gently kissing our shoulders as it danced past us. I took the boys up to this amazing, little, city part I found. It’s sort of an oxymoron…this city park sits out about a mile into the country. It’s up on a hill and overlooks the awesome, untouched landscape…just a few homes, farms, and white picket fences.
I was totally in the moment…thanking God for his blessings, without even saying a word…just “feeling” thankful, and I knew He could hear how loudly I was shouting my gratitude – even in my silence. My children, happy and healthy, giggling, climbing, running, being little, carefree children.
Then, like a silly stick cutting right through this serious moment of appreciation…

“Mom! (not Mommy or Mama) Mom! I can see the whole city!”
