It Took 10 Years

but he did finally take me back to the trail we walked on our second (or third?) date!  And I should add that it was totally his suggestion too.  Yesterday was the most beautiful fall day.  We skipped church (heathens, I know), took a drive to Smith Mountain Lake State Park and walked a few of the trails.
 


 
10 years ago, our mutual friends (at whose wedding we met) orchestrated another meeting and we had a couple dates.  One was a trip with them to this park.  Cue the "aaaawwwww...".  Yeah... I'm so not a sappy person, but I am aware of God's grace enough to recognize a special moment for what it is.
 
It is His grace, isn't it?  That gives us special moments we totally don't deserve.  So that when hard times come (and they will) we can recognize His grace there too.
 
Blessings on your day!
