The other day, as the Yako mountains came into view, the children let out a soft cry. After a moment someone asked “we’re going to climb that?!” and I looked out at the rocky hills and smiled. A general feeling of excitement came over the group, as we descended from our perch in the back of the pickup.
Some of the younger ones were afraid- couldn’t we fall off the other side? And the bigger ones were excited- they’d never done something like this. Everybody wanted to see the top.
It was a hike in the hills (as dreamt up by Lisa)… I had Moore lessons and gave some English lessons as we walked, there lots of time to chat with the kids, and time to simply sit and enjoy creation together…
It was beautiful. There was no doubt. I noticed their giggles and calls I began to recognize how special it was to simply see the children enjoying their time in nature. And I began to wonder, if I can take so much joy from seeing these children enjoying creation, how much joy can our creator find in seeing us enjoy the beauty of this world he created?
… there was time for the kids to take pictures (the first picture was taken by one of the boys) and time for a hug or two…
