We saw the ocean…  the mountains…

I am back in my favourite city… yes, I love the city where I now live… oh, but I cannot get away from the hold that the city that I was born in, raised in, lived in most of my life, has on me…  I love it here.

I hadn’t thought about getting a window seat on the airplane… but the kind lady at the check-in counter asked me if I wanted to change seats…  at first I said, no that’s fine, the aisle seat is easier for me and my little one.  Then I remembered that I was heading home…  I remembered that my favourite view is that of landing in Vancouver… it is stunning.  The islands… the mountains… the water… you get to see it all from above… and it is glorious, especially on a beautiful day…

So we got our window seats.   And as we began our descent, I pointed out all the beauty of our Creator to my Little One…  she was wide eyed… this is a view she is not used to.  I get goose bumps each time we approach the city, each time I see the breathtaking natural wonders…  I even get tears in my eyes… and I did this time too…  there I was looking intently at the scenery, tears flowing down my cheeks, my Little One giggling as I hang on tightly to her… 

We are heading home…
