For the beauty of the Earth

The boys and I took a trip to the mountains this weekend. I love being outdoors. It's amazing how beautiful our Earth really is. Seeing all this beauty sparked a conversation between Mason and I. It just so happened to be one of the spontaeous spiritual learning moments for both of us.

It went like this; Mason: "Mom why do you keep taking pictures of everything?"

Me: " Because I just love all the beautiful things we are surrounded by. It makes me feel so happy. I want to remember them. So I'm taking pictures. Do you know who made all of this? The mountains, trees, rivers and all the nature?"
Mason: " Heavenly father and Jesus! Why did they make all of those things mom? That's alot of things to make."

Me: "They are presents from Heavenly father. He loves us so much that he gave us all this stuff to remind us of how much he loves us."

Mason: "Mom I love Heavenly father."

Me: "Me too."

I am so thankful for specail moments like that where the spirit whispers into our hearts and reminds us of just how loved we really are.
