No Man is an Island

Yesterday was a beautiful spring day..the sun was shining, the flowers were blooming, and everyone was excited to be outside. We decided to take the family to Eagle Creek Park to walk the trails around the lake.

As we walked the trails we got some good exercise and family time. We saw an owl, we saw people in canoes, we saw people fishing and jogging, we saw a tree that laying on its side had a trunk that was more than 6 feet tall.

As we continued to walk I was snapping some pictures by the lake and came across this view.

It reminded me of a quote that my high school basketball coach shared with us- "No Man is an Island". What is the meaning of this? To me this quote indicates that we are smaller than we think we are...each day our plate of chores and tasks may seem overwhelming...that is why we must surround ourselves with things that are bigger than us! I believe that we must have Faith in God...we must surround ourselves with people that are gentle and humble...we must give focus to the things that are lasting! We all have great challenges ahead of us and we can't accomplish them alone.

Have a GREAT WEEK!
