Hole in the Sky and Waterfalls

I often talk about how life changes from moment to moment and how I think that my life is not in my hands at all, but in my families, my church and my Heavenly Father's.
I really do believe that all things good and bad will eventually turn out for the best if we try our best to live the way we should. Sometimes it is just hard to remember that.
This last month has shown that things definitely not in our hands. There were several personal disappointments for different family members with alot of stress and sadness involved. There was also a couple of scary times with health matters, which thankfully proved to be less scary than believed.
Today both of us felt tired and restless so we sluffed church and took a drive while we talked about all that had been going on and how we felt about it all. We stopped to get a drive through breakfast and saw a police bust going on in the parking lot. A pick-up and 4-wheeler trailer, both loaded with people and 4-wheelers was there along with 3 police cars lights flashing were clustered in one corner of the huge parking lot. Of course we pulled in a parking space where we had a clear view of the proceedings, but could not hear anything said. So we made up our own scenario. Maybe a theft, probably a drug bust. There were 2 females and 1 male standing around talking to the police and one male handcuffed and in the back seat of the squad car. The 3 officers searched both the truck cab, backpacks and all the luggage in the back of the truck and also inspected all the 4-wheelers. Finally it looked like one officer handed one female a ticket and then drove off with the guy still in the back of the squad car. The others took off in the truck and it was all over. Our major excitment for the day! We were also reminded that we are blessed that it wasn't any of our family involved in anything like that.
Then we took one of the many long ways home so we could drive slower than the speed limit and stop whenever we wanted to look at something pretty.
The first beautiful site was the "Hole in the Sky". This almost perfect circle in the clouds that Gary could picture a jet flying through and I imagined as the doorway to heaven.


Then we drove to "Hog Hollow or also known as Monkey Rock" where a canal joins a part of the Teton River. This is a very popular swimming spot where those brave in heart jump or dive off the waterfall and swim in the icy waters below. It is also were alot of successful fishermen visit. I just think it is beautiful in its own small way.

So now we are home, refreshed in body and spirit and ready for the new month starting tomorrow and thankful for the blessing we enjoy everyday, with the promise of better tomorrows.
