Becky told me of a ride she took in the van up one of the canyons here in Salt Lake City. At one point in the conversation she spoke of seeing an eagle and she was amazed at the way it spread it's wings and soared. She watched this beautiful bird for a while and said that there wasn't one time it had to flap it's wings.
Have you ever had that experience for yourself? I have and it has been many years since I saw that last. Just thinking about it makes me smile. The creatures that have been created and placed on this beautiful earth are an inspiration. I challenge you to pay better attention to the 'details' that are all around us. The next time you go outside take notice of the birds as they chirp. Look at the majestic mountains that tower above all else. The beautiful colors of the changing trees as winter fast approaches. The flowers that line the front of the house are breath-taking.
Many years ago, the telephone rang and to my surprise it was a woman who lives three houses away from us in our cul-de-sac. I greeted her and inquired about her day. I then asked her what I could do for her. She told me that the reason she was calling was to thank our family for the beautiful flowers in front of our house that allowed her a great deal of joy as she looked out her front window.
This is a beautiful world with a lot to offer us. Stop and take a minute to see for yourself.
