Be Still

I decided to lay down for a few minutes this afternoon on my couch. I had the windows open and because of how I was laying on the couch I could feel the breeze kiss my toes as it went through my house. I could hear the wind rustling the tree in the front yard. Suddenly it dawned on me that the only sound I could hear was the tree out front. No cars, no busses, no motorcycles, no airplanes, no TV and no people, just the wind. It was incredible, I couldn't believe it. It reminded me of camping when I was growing up in Wyoming with my family and we would take afternoon naps in the mountains. In this particular moment I felt like Heavenly Father was reminding me that He is always with us. In fact when I let myself lay very still and listen to the tree out front I could feel Him. It was lovely. :)

Here are a few pictures of our back yard after Steve and I worked on it this past weekend.
