L2L Challenge #9

Don’t ask what the world needs. 

Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. 

Because what the world needs is people who come alive.
~Howard Thurman

I just had to use this photo of my hubby for this assignment and quote. What makes my family come alive is God's Creation. We love being out in nature! We live on a busy street. Most of our house faces a 4 lane road  that links a busy city and a large bridge... Lots of traffic. Having the nicer weather means we have the windows open... which is nice but also means more road noise. We don't do anything in our yard. It is to close to the road, to small and now has no fence (since the crash of '09). So getting out into nature means a drive... but we do it weekly, and more often in the cooler weather. It gets us closer to God, to each other and gives us a time to be away from the computers, phones, and our closed in lives... spending to much time stuck in the house. We pray for a home in a more country setting... but for now... we enjoy nature when we can by driving to it.
