My multi-talented and beautiful wife, Trish is so good at capturing moments with the girls and memories with our family. She captures some photographs that just burst from the pages with detail, excitement or mystery. So many times I look at the things she captures from behind the lens and they seem to tell stories that go well beyond just the surface. She has uploaded some of these moments to her blog truegifts.blogspot.com, but this one that I just had to take from her photo library.
I will never know what Paige was thinking, but when I look at it I see the simplicity of being a child, the beauty in God's creation, and the power of light (don't you see how the light just draws you in to the photo). It also makes me think and reflect upon God; how blessed we are to be his children, how awesome life with him was, is and will be and how powerful God's light is in our lives.
This photo makes me think about being a parent; the awesome and the overwhelming, the girls and their little personalities and how much they are growing up. It also makes me wonder, "What is she thinking?" Knowing Paige, there is no telling what she was thinking.
I need to remind myself to live for moments like these - a simple gift of time, life and triumph.
