Beautiful days ahead

Well the weather is supposed to be really pretty this weekend. Sat. is supposed to be in the 80's and full of sun shine. So, this will be a great time to get together with the ones you love and do something fun outside. I plan on taking the kids on the nature trail here in Hooterville. I don't think Ryan's ever been on it. But, we take for granted the beauty God created for us here. Especially right under our nose. We really live in a beautiful place here in the Ozark Mountains and Arkansas in general.

I think about the things that happen, like the Unv. of Virgina shootings and I wonder if the guy that was so disturbed and shot these innocent people ever just looked around him and realized what God had given him? Its sad if he didn't ever experience that. I would say he was in a dark place and never got to see that light!

Life is so short and we all are guilty of not taking time out to enjoy little things in life like just to sit outside and watch nature. Or to play outside with your kids and friends. God is good to us. Even thought there are a few people that never figure that out her in this life time.

Have you ever taken a walk with God? I know your saying wow Steph are you turning into a freak of nature and Holy weirdo? NOPE. I have a friend that goes to college here and is in our Praise band and small groups that really does take walks with God. He says its a peaceful time to reflect on things going on in our life and who else to share you most precious time with than God himself. At first I though - wow this guy is really in deep with the whole religion stuff. But, as I journey on in this life I realize how wonderful it is that I have the strenght, sight, smell and taste of life's little walks. And that I dont take for granted the reason I can take those walks are because of our Father.

So, anyway,,,,, I will incorporate time with my family and God this beautiful weekend and give thanks to what I am blessed with in my time here on earth. I love life-even though it can be hard sometimes and things don't always go as smoothly as I would like. I remind myself when these things happen that I am where God wants me.

So, I hope you all have a great weekend and if you can't take a walk with God at least know that wether do or not he is always there by your side waiting for his time with you. He always makes time for you! Will you for him?
