Simplicity and Beauty

The creations of God are amazing. After Moses had his vison of the earth, he remarked that "now I know that man is nothing, which thing I had never before supposed." When I see the the beauty of nature, I am overwhelmed.Whether the cliffs, valleys and waterfalls of the rugged mountains, or the simplicity perfection of the passion flower below, each detail seems to be planned with immaculate perfection.

The soft warm water of the South Pacific

or the rugged beauty of the winter in the mountains are equally adept at taking one's breath away.

While the creations of mankind may be interesting and inspiring, they cannot compare with the simplicty yet complexity of nature.
The simple things seem to bring the greatest happiness.
Mothers teaching daughters
Brothers bonding in a shared laugh
bring a smile to all but the most hardened face. I love nature. I love my family. I love that Father has given us the opportunity to be sealed for eternity. I am proud of each of my children and grandchildren. I love their accomplishments, even the simple ones of learning to climb stairs.

God's creation far outweigh man's in beauty and complexity. I too love our family, and am glad everytime we are able to get together with them one and all.
