What I realy enjoy about Life!
I was walking to work yesterday and there was a light breeze, it was warm and pleasant. It was like the breath of God breathing life and vitality into my tired soul. I passed by a house where my neighbor was cutting his grass and the air was thick with it's pungent odor. I remembered being a child and lying on my back in the grass watching clouds parade by overhead, taking one shape then transforming into another. In a second, in the moment of a single breath, a thousand memories flooded my mind; playing with my children the way my Dad had played with me, the way my wife loves me, her smile, her touch, the laughter of my children and how all of life came together in this single moment and I was thankful for the life that I have been given. All the days leading up to this one moment; they were all worth it, every minute, every second.
This is what I mean when I say I love the smell of fresh cut grass.
