From My Back Porch

I took a picture of the sunrise this morning from our back porch. It's beautiful. Not the prettiest one I've seen but still amazing. The clouds are moving so swiftly as the sun rises to wake the earth. The birds are singing their morning melodies, the baby is sleeping and April, well she's April....she wants to play ball. As I was sitting there just looking out and listening to the day begin, I thanked God. I thanked Him for giving me such a wonderful husband; I thanked Him for giving me such a precious son; I thanked him for His creation (even though it seems we as a world are destroying it's beauty faster than anything); I thanked Him for the loving family he placed me in; I thanked Him for great friends past and present; I just couldn't help but thank Him. It is not often that I take the time to slow down enough to just "see" God. Today, I'm glad I did.
