Gifts




This was taken from a scenic overlook at Petit Jean State Park. It was absolutely beautiful. This picture does not really do it justice.





These two pictures were taken at sunset and again the pictures don't completely capture what it really looked like. I love it when the sun casts a golden light on things.

I have really been blessed lately and I'm just amazed at it. God has allowed me to enjoy beautiful things lately like the sunset above, the changing leaves and shooting stars. I have been extremely blessed to have met someone who loves God, loves others, laughs a lot and has a kind heart. He makes me smile all the time and makes me happy. He truely is a gift from God. Again, I'm amazed at how God has blessed me. I truely don't deserve it.

I am blessed that I get to spend a few weeks with my mom, just the two of us. We have never spent so much time together by ourselves. My mom is an amazing mom. She has done so much for me. As we grew up she gave of herself unselfishly to take care of us. She attended all of my school functions, cleaned up after us and was the taxi cab driver all over town. Sometimes I'm amazed at how she managed to juggle it all. She did a lot for us without much gratitude at the time. I love my mom and think she's the best in the whole world. I thank God for her in my life.

I'm blessed to have God in my life. If I had nothing else except Him I would be good but for some reason He has given me so much more. God knows me completely, loves me and sent His only son to pay the price that I deserve to pay for my sins. There is no bigger blessing than that. I love God and I'm also thankful that I can have a relationship with Him. He is my hope and strength and source of peace and joy. I would be lost without Him.
