Reflection

As I recline on the newly restored patio, sipping on a cool glass of lemon water, I recognize the calmness that God is providing for me to enjoy. The random chirpings of the birds and crickets, the smell of the newly mowed grass, and the grazing of the cows help to make country living a time of total relaxation--a get away.

I can just imagine the times that I will be able to share this patio with my son, his wife, and 2 daughters. The girls can run and play while they experience the Texas skies and nature.

Until they can be here, I look forward to sharing the area with friends and other family members. The patio is only part of the enjoyment. Meandering through my Texas trail on foot or bike, solo or with friends provides the joy of being in the country and creating an ambiance of calmness and enjoyment of God's nature.
