Fields of Yellow

While on a morning walk I was wishing I had a camera and remembered that some of the best moments we experience aren't accompanied by photographs. So, I thought I'd describe as best I can what made my heart so happy.

The morning sun was shining on Porter's now strawberry blonde hair as we started down the sidewalk overgrown with wild yellow snapdragons. Porter was dangling out of his stroller with his arms out-stretched reaching for the flowers. Looking a little farther to my left I could see his small, pale, chubby hand and fingers grasping at the flowers as the sun's rays danced around Porter who was causing shadows to wiggle on the dirt from his hand moving through the yellow blossoms. Porter was smiling all the while.

Simple things bring me the greatest happiness. The Lord blesses me every day with moments that fill my soul with true delight.

So sweet. Thanks for sharing. Sometimes a photo can't even show the joy of that moment. How special. It is true to enjoy all those moments and write them down so you don't forget.
