I am so Grateful

I woke up this morning and thought it looks so beautiful outside, all my trees have turned yellow and the leaves haven't quite fallen off the tree. it's about 37 degrees outside and I can't help but feel so lucky to be here and be able to live around such beauty. I know how totally corny it sound but I rarely get a chance to just sit and listen. Well today was my day, while Sofia took a nap me and the boys just sat outside and tried to hear all the different sounds. It's rare that my boys be quiet for any length of time but the were really good, we were able to say our morning pray out side before josh went to school. It was a very spritual experience for all of us. I am so grateful to the lord for sending me to this place where I can truly enjoy all there is around me. Sometimes we are so busy with our lives, we forget to stop and look and appreciate all the lord has given us.
