fall break

i had such a great afternoon today.
officially, i'm on fall break at the college, so that's what i did. i took a break to enjoy the fall.
the boys and i went for about a 90 minute walk around a nearby neighborhood. what a glorious day--perfect temperature, perfect sunshine, perfect smells of the season.
emmaus fell asleep and israel and i sang songs (his current favorite is 5 little monkeys jumpin' on the bed). i don't think he fell asleep, but he sure mellowed out and enjoyed the ride.
and then to top it off, i had a coupon for a free cup of coffee from kidd coffee. highlander grog on an autumn afternoon is hard to beat.
i'm not saying that i'm more blessed than you for i realize that we all had the same afternoon here in town. but, perhaps unlike you, i know Who deserves the praise for a glorious creation.

Father God, You are amazing. thank You for showing Yourself to me today in the simple pleasure of an afternoon walk.
