Don't get up, I will find my way out: The Forest for the Trees

The Forest for the Trees

I love forests. There is something wonderful about hiking in the woods. Several weeks ago when we visited Lake Tahoe, we went for a day hike on the Eagle Falls trail. While the picture to the right is not from that hike, I find it very relaxing.

I enjoy the escape from the noise and chaos of the rest of the world. I enjoy the wonder of God's creation. The dappled light as it filters through the trees is almost hypnotic.

blessings on your day

Gratitude

As I wend my way through the fields, fens and forests of life, I find myself changing - oh not in large obvious ways for the most part, but in gentle, subtle ways (well sometimes large, obvious and PAINFUL ways). I take with me a little bit of every place I have been. Of all the influences in my life, by far the greatest is my Lord and Savior - Jesus Christ. His grace and mercy are the reason I am still breathing and "wending." From Him, I endeavor to take the most "bits" and apply the most change.

Of great importance in my life is my beautiful wife, Emma. She is truly the love of my life and my dearest treasure. She too has displayed enormous grace and mercy in our relationship. Without her at my side I would drift aimlessly indeed. She carries my love and my pride with her wherever she goes.
