Sitting here this beautiful morning. Have been watching our cat at play. I first saw Charlie, our older cat, walk by the yard with a field mice in his mouth. He walked to my rose garden and played with it. Then Joe, the younger cat, came to join him, and Charlie took the mice by the tree. Then, he laid down and just watched Joe play with the mouse. Joe was really having a wonderful time playing with it. Such a simple thing, yet it gave him so much joy.
It made me think of the simple times in my life, the times of my childhood. What do I remember most? The times our dad took us for a Sunday drive in the spring, and we picked wild flowers..
I think if most of us think back, we all remember the simple times, and I truly believe they were the happiest.
I hope our children are making wonderful memories for our grandchildren. I know they plan vacations, but I hope that they also use their imagination and do some simple, easy things, and some things that coat no money. Nature can provide so many opportunities.
Lord, thank You for all You have given me. Thank You for all the joys our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren give us. You are an awesome God.
