Today we took a hike at the Pinhoti Trail, and what a beautiful day it was! Savannah never ceases to amaze us at how keen her eyesight is. I've added a picture of a tiny mushroom that she spotted underfoot that Sloan and I would have missed - I guess it's true that children know better than we do to "take time and smell the flowers." She also spotted a frog in the middle of the trail that blended so well into its environment that we would never have seen it. Whenever we take the time to get out into God's beautiful creation away from the day-to-day stuff that we're so accustomed to, I realize just how amazing He is. From the huge oak trees to the tiny lizards, craw fish, and butterflies, He blesses us so much if we just take the time to appreciate it. May we remember this as our week cranks up and we again become busy, so that we may slow down and truly take the time for the things that matter most in this life...
