Perfect weather beckoned us out into the woods. One of my favorite places to be. I love to hear the birds sing. I love to watch my children discover the surprises and fun of nature.
Like grapevine that they could swing from.
And an iridescent green beetle.
And man-made climbing structures can be a lot of fun, too.
An all-around perfect day. Thank you, Lord.















"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
