A few nights back I went down to play with the toddlers. Now that the weather is nice the caretakers try to take them out on the back porch for some fresh air. The windows were open and as I approached the back door I could hear giggles but they seemed farther than the inclosed porch. As I opened the door The first photo was what I saw! They all started giggling and pointing at me as to say haha we are now on the outside and you are still stuck on the porch! For the majority of the little tikes sitting on the wall, this was the first time they had ever walked on grass. Can you imagine living the first 2 years of your life basically in a cage... only looking though the bars of the fence along the porch.... wondering what it was like to be on the other side!!!! It thrilled me to see the looks on their faces as they tried to walk though the grass, obviously not liking the itchy feeling as it touched their toes! And it makes me think how many of us have lived the majority of our lives... never experiencing the Creator and His creation. Not knowing what it feels like to embrace the wind as it blows, the sun as it shines, the mountains all around or the vast blue sky. When you're outside, take a moment and just embrace what's around you and thank the Creator for such beauty! Welcome to God's creation.......
All I can say is WOW!!! Brings tears to my eyes. Thanks for opening my eyes and seeing how much we take for granted. My goal this day is to embrace God's creation around me and baste in it.
Love ya as always.
