I Saw God Today...

There's a song by George Strait called "I Saw God Today."  It's all about finding God's presence in the simplest things if we just stop to look.  It's a great song.  

A couple days ago I gave Riley my old digital camera to take pictures of anything he wanted.  He's been taking lots of pictures of his fingers, the wall, and the floor.  Yesterday we were outside with my mom watching the dogs play, and he was taking pictures of the garden and other things.  Then he raised the camera to the sky and told us, "I'm taking a picture of God."  It took my breath away.

Riley saw God here...
...and here...
And I see God here, every single day.  What a blessing this little boy is.  
Here is some more amateur photography from Riley:
The Garden...
Gran-Gran bringing Aretha inside
The Aspen tree in our garden...actually a really cool shot
And feet!
Here is a slideshow set to the George Strait song, technology is so cool!

By the way, the first picture on the slideshow is a picture of a rainbow cloud that my cousin Tisa's son, Russell, saw right as our cousin Renee was called home after battling cancer back in 2004.

What a beautiful post, Missy. You are an amazing writer and you brought tears to my eyes. Our little ones are really such a gift from God! (And I love that song!)

Olivia likes to take pictures too. She isn't nearly as good as Riley though. What a little photographer you have! =)
