Last Monday, my husband David, and I had a chance to have a little time together without children or work responsibilities. The day was a sparkling winter day, sunshine, and with no wind blowing (that doesn't happen too often during the winter in Michigan).
We enjoyed going to the Fredrick Meijer Gardens, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The gardens were quiet, with not a lot of people around, and may of the exhibits were closed due to construction or changing of displays. That didn't bother us a bit.
David and I took our digital camera in with us. We had a great time taking pictures of each of other posing in front of palm trees, cactus, statues, and in the snow. We even had a person come up and ask us if she could take a picture of us together. I believed that she could feel the fun we were having.
The calmness,quite and beauty of the day helped us to appreciate God's nature. It was great to not answer phones, check the email, work on computers, or other things that distract us from the feeling of peace.
