As we walked through the park, I found myself filled with gratitude for simple things. There are so many beautiful little blessings to see in this world of ours if we just slow down and take notice. What are you most grateful for? What fills you with feelings of love and appreciation? Here are a few of the things I love most about our experience in England.

Sunny days
Tree tunnels
Thatched roof cottages

Saturdays when the parking lots are filled with coaches (buses) and cars
Night birds - their beautiful songs after sundown

The Mission Office missionaries - every one of them
Our wonderful sister missionaries and senior couples
