We are thankful for....

November 26

Heavenly Father created such a wonderful, beautiful earth for us to live on. There is beauty everywhere, if we will just open our eyes and look. Sometimes we just get cruising through life and forget to appreciate the amazing spread of nature before us. Our family is grateful for nature and being able to spend time in it's glory. From Lake Powell to mountains to wooded forests, from the plains of Kansas to the coastlines in Florida, we have been fortunate to see all types of nature. This years' trip to Lake Powell was amazing and the visual beauty was amazing, a new site for children. We love the mountains, enjoying the views to the valleys. Even driving across country is a treat because you can see the land of our nation change before your eyes. It amazes me to be driving in heavily wooded areas and 8 hours down the road you can be on the flat, rolling hills with no trees in sight! Then you slowly climb into the mountain ranges and wind through the canyons with cliffs rising a thousand feet above you. Heavenly Father did create some amazing land formations. Just open your eyes--look around. Easton picked a great spot for a picture on his hike to the top of Mt. Timpanogas in Utah.
Wow! This was one amazing view as we looked down into the valley of Alpine, Utah. Breathtaking!

Our amazing trip to Lake Powell, Utah included amazing sites like the Rainbow Bridge. Nature is amazing sometimes.


You've seen this before, out my back kitchen window. Just another taste of nature.
We love the trees in Georgia because they are everywhere! The falls are beautiful with glorious colors--the springs are just as beautiful as the blossoms appears and then the vibrant green colored leaves burst onto the branches.

  1. See, your blogging has paid off. You're writing now like a professional with lots of words like 'vibrant' and 'burst' .... I knew you could do it.

    I love nature too. I have loved your thankful posts as well. It's been fun reading them everyday. What to do in December now to keep me entertained. You better come up with something. It's December 1st on Monday, so get thinking of something.

    Love the Lake Powell pics and it's so true, the nature does change so fast.
