a gift.....

This morning I saw a sunrise that literally stopped me in my tracks. I was running along not really thinking about anything and I looked over and saw the most breathtaking view. I seriously just haulted. The sun was florescent and was just shooting out rays from behind that mountains and barely touching on the tops of the trees and just starting to light up a yellow field of barley. The contrast between the grain that was hit by the sun and those that hadn't yet been touched was stunning. The trees seemed so brilliantly green. The birds were singing and the smell with the irrigation water in the air mixed with soil was absolutely heaven sent....or perhaps heaven's scent :) I cant adequately describe everything I saw and felt but I was so caught up in the moment, I didn't want it to end. I felt so warm and felt like Heavenly Father gave me that gift. It is a memory I hope to store vividly. I want to keep it and return to it on those nights when I cant get my mind to slow down enough to sleep. I wish I could describe it better but I am just so sincerely grateful for that sweet, unexpected gift.
