freedom

My favorite place in the world would have to be out in the country by a lake where you can just feel the freedom and see the beauty of the natural world. You feel the wind wrapping all around you whipping back and forth, blowing your hair all around, you feel wild and free, safe and calm, wonderful and bright… When you look forward you can see the sunset, oh how lovely, reflecting off the lake. My grandma always says “when you see the beauty of a sunset is when you truly know there is a gracious God.” I hear her voice speak those words even when she is not around, what a wonderful God to bring us such light, what a wonderful God... I can smell the outdoors, the trees, the fresh air, the soil of the fields. The best smell in the world, the smell of freedom, the smell of relaxation. I can smell the water from the lake, it’s a good smell… Every sound is enhanced, so wonderful, so beautiful. Birds become artists, singing amazing songs, crickets chirp all around. The country is free, and beautiful filled with many possibilities.
