So much beauty

Nakamura River

Mount Iwaki was SO BEAUTIFUL this morning. But I couldn't capture it with my little cell phone camera. The sun was shining from that direction and sparkling on the river.

I was actually trying to take a photo of our puppy... but she's too full of beans! She bounced all over the place happily pouncing on grasshoppers. At least, she THINKS she's chasing grasshoppers. I'm not convinced - haven't seen any in at least a month.

I love watching her though. Its like watching a small child - it reminds me that life is beautiful even in the hard times. And is it really so hard?

... godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
