Gratitude for nature
The weather has been perfect, here in Michigan. Indian Summer is upon us. Yesterday, it was 65 degrees and sunny, so a group of us decided to go hiking on the Potawatomi Trail; a trail I had heard stories of-the most common story is that it is uphill the whole way…
We started out after our “bootcamp” class at the gym-great way to get warmed up for the hike~I figured~and warmed up, we were!
The trail was only five miles long, and-yes, it was uphill the whole way! 
The fallen leaves crunched under our feet; the wild life romped on all sides of us. We could smell the warmth of burning leaves far off, and the crisp smell of a cider mill not too far off. We chatted and laughed and told stories (the remember when…kind) “on and off.” Between the “on and off,” we simply basked in the beauty of the day and the nature that surrounded us.
I am truly grateful for God’s gifts to us that day. …And His gift to me as He led me up the “steps” of nature with gratitude. I am Blest! I am on Higher Ground.
What steps have YOU climbed these past few days?
Are YOU on Higher Ground?
