And I think to myself, what a {WONDERFUL} World....

Today is a day for {Gratitude}. As most of you know, I went camping with my family this past weekend. Besides it being {FrEEEEzing} cold, it was a trip that really was placed in my life at the right time. God is good. God is amazing, and our Savior could not have created a more beautiful world for us to live in. I feel truly blessed to feel His presence in my life, and am so {Grateful} for a loving Father who blesses me with life everyday.
As we were traveling through Mt. Timpanogos cave, our tour guide said many times something to the effect of, you can find beauty here. But it all depends on your {perspective}. You will see ugly in the world, or you will find beauty surrounding you no matter where you are, if you just change your perspective. And how true it is!
At first {glance} this cave was not something some people would describe as beautiful. But to me it was. The whole vacation was beautiful. From the rocky mountains that surrounded our campground, or the green, orange, and red trees dotting the whole canyon. To the flow rock inside the beautiful little cave we walked through, and the laughter of my family as we {attempted} to play Bop-it extreme.
It reminds me of a song we used to sing at girl's camp when I was younger:

How beautiful is the green earth,
The stars in the heaven above,
Oh what would the world be like,
if we didn't have {Family} to love.

Here are just a few pictures from our trip. Nate took the most of them, and he's getting really good at taking pictures!
