There are just some moments that steal your breath and take root in your heart forever. Usually, the most profound are also the simplest. And in honor of Earth Day, I wanted to share some beautiful snapshots of the incredible beauty that is our Earth. This wonderful world of ours has the ability to transform public areas and attractions into something so uniquely personal it actually becomes a separate snapshot amid the millions of public photos. A memory, an experience, or a beautiful connection is all is takes to make an average park bench, or graveyard, or stretch of highway into the most amazing spot on Earth.
There is a rather unremarkable sidewalk in the suburbs on Houston, sandwiched between equally ordinary homes. But it was the location of angelic protection as two young missionaries poured out their hearts in prayer to Heavenly Father.
There is a large tree among a grove of identical ones nestled in a cemetery in the corner of a sleepy town. It overlooks the two graves of people I dearly love and the grass around those headstones are well watered with tears. It's no Mother Willow, but maybe it is since it has heard more than just my rambling and more than once held me up when I needed it most.
A balcony washed with warm sunlight greets the new day, saying to all who step foot into the magical world that today is a day of possibilities and wonder. The glorious sunlight blinks with the promise of a new day without any mistakes yet. It makes me ready to start each new day.
Thank you Earth for giving me part of yourself to hold in my heart.
