I like to call them
golden moments. Those little serendipities and precious times that warm your
heart and deepen your smile wrinkles. Sometimes life's perplexities hide them,
but they are always there. And even though I haven't always tried my best to find
them, this past year is so full of beautiful memories that I could never
squeeze my gratitude for them all into
one blog post.
Moments like sitting
next to a sea turtle in the warm Hawaiian ocean while he nibbles at the
kelp-covered rocks.
Late-night talks
with the sweetest friend a girl could wish for.
Squeezing three
giggling girls into a tiny two-person tent - this happened twice!
Bouncing on a
trampoline with an energetic 6-year-old.
Soaking in a
deliciously warm hot spring in the middle of a chilly rain shower (sorry, I didn't get a picture in the rain).
Countless adventures
with this young man who means more to me every day.
These may seem like
small things, but it's often the little, unexpected joys that thrill my heart
the most. I am so thankful for every happy moment that God has given to me this
year, and for all the little ways He has shown His love. This has definitely been
a year to be grateful for!
