Take In the View

This is an excerpt from a newsletter I subscribe to. I couldn't have said it better myself:

"In this journey we call living there are beautiful things to see and there are places along the way to pull quietly over. I don’t want to be the kind of person who is obsessed with gathering things that I cannot keep, when there are beauties and wonders all around me.

When I am long gone and my children and grandchildren think of me I want them to remember me as the kind of guy that pulled over and took in the scenery whenever possible.

I want them to know that I saw beauty in each of them. I want them to learn from watching me how to see the hand of God in all the world around them."
