Areas of lessons while on a hike.
Family. Family is important. A big family is great and a special thing to cherish. Time passes so fast, and we can't get back all this togetherness once the children grow up. Even if the children are so little they have to be carried a part of the way, we should still go on hikes.
Friends. Friends need to be made. Giving and gracious receiving are a part of it all. Sharing apples and lollipops mean a lot at the end of the trail. Seeing a friendly face on top of a mountain encourages us all.
Marriage. Our men need respect. If we holler at our husbands like they are children, we end up the ones sounding foolish. (I'm saying this about an unknown couple on the trail.) Even if we don't like what they are doing, showing disrespect won't help.
Education. The forest was our school book today. We were shown the heart of the tree, the beginning of buds, lichen, and the many colors of the rocks. It all becomes real when you get down on the level of the child studying it.
We really had a great day.
