“Oh Lord, what a variety you have made! And in wisdom you have made them all! The earth is full of your riches.“ Psalm 104:24
It was a lovely, sunny Sunday afternoon and walking along the trail at Aldergrove Lake Park was the perfect way to spend the afternoon. As my husband and I walked along the path, I noticed the flowers, bleeding hearts, buttercups and wild strawberries were blooming. The cedar and hemlock trees flaunted their beautiful, fresh, new green growth. Even the Alder and Maple trees were now full of leaves,
The smell of the woods was so pleasant and brought back memories of the spring times when I was in elementary school. It was a two mile walk each way to the school, so on the walk home my sister and I did quite bit of exploring — what was on the “other side of fence.” I remember the trilliums which bloomed around Easter time. But mostly I recall the sweetness of the tiny wild strawberries in June. Funny how some those past memories come up in a person’s mind. There is so much truth in the quote by Cesare Pavese,
“We do not remember days, we remember moments.“
I thank the Lord for memorable moments–for the little things in life He gives us to enjoy. It is out of His great store of love for us. How my heart soars with joy and delight when He opens my eyes to the variety of created things He gives to us to gladden our hearts
Thank you Lord, for delighting our souls through your creation. We worship you! You are awesome! We love you. Amen

A refreshing thought make me look back those days of delights long back in life.

Thank you. May God bless you.
