The Simple Things

Since today was so hot I thought playing in the water would be a fun way for the boys to spend their afternoon outside. Cayden was having more fun in the mud and running around the driveway but Brennon was fascinated with the waterhose. After a few minutes of watching my little man just stare at the water and then touch it, I started thinking about how I let life get me so busy that I do not even stop and enjoy the small things in life. As I was watching Brennon's fascination I looked up at the gorgeous sky (look how pretty it is in the pictures) and I stopped and enjoyed and savored it. I thought how magnificently gorgeous our Mighty Father created every detail of this planet and I stood there overwhelmed and in awe of His creation! How amazing it is that our children can bless us in so many ways and part of God's amazing creation is that THEY are the ones who continually teach us to slow down and pay attention to Him and His creation!!!
