A profound gratitude is conceived in my heart as I gaze at the dusty pictures hung on my wall
The eyes illuminated within those frames gazing back at me.
Bygone years and yesterday’s laced with laughter, tears, memories. Some joyful and some bitter, but all filled with beauty and a deep grace.
Mountains loom in one photo
The Eiffel Tower dazzles in the next
The Roman colosseum beneath that one
The heavenly blue roofs of Greece under that one
And on and on and on
I never would’ve believed it,
As a young wild child, living in a trailer park, barely surviving in the hidden muddy parts of a country filled with the stink of cows
That God would open my world so vastly and allow me to travel beyond what I ever even imagined, and He blesses me still, and even more, with the promise of eternity with Him.
Truly, like Jesus said He came to give “life and life more abundantly.”
And I am truly thankful…
