Beauty

For the Beauty of the Earth...



For the Beauty of the Skies...



For the Love which from our Birth...




Over and Around us lies...



Lord of All, to Thee we Raise...



This Our hymn of Grateful Praise.





Today we were able to go up little and big cottonwood canyons, and we even took a spontaneous 5 mile hike. The whole time that I was taking pictures of the blue sky and the mountains, which some have colorful leaves and bushes on them, all I could think about was the beauty of it. The divinity of it. The fact that we are SO Not alone. This hymn kept coming into my head and wanting to burst out of my chest in song! Even the children talked about how Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ made all of these beautiful things we were surrounded by. It makes me want to hike more often, but it's going to get colder soon. Maybe next year.

So pretty Cantoo! We went up to the Temple Quarry and had a picnic up there on Friday. Glad it was on your mind too...there aren't too many more pretty weekends (weather-wise) where we will be able to do that!
