Guam's Beauty

One of the things that we will miss the most about Guam when we leave is the natural beauty that surrounds us. We daily get to enjoy and take in Gods handiwork at its finest. Every time we take a ride in the car we see the enormous, beautiful ocean that literally surrounds us. We see the gorgeous blue colors inside the reef and watch the colorful sunsets on the horizon. I'm told that people pay big money to see what we get to see daily. The flowers and trees that surround us make the warm tropical breezes smell heavenly. When we first moved to Guam our family made a pact that we would try our best to never take our beautiful surroundings for granted no matter how commonplace they became. I can honestly say that each time we ride down the only highway on the island which runs immediately beside the shore I am in awe. For three years we have looked out into the vastness of that ocean and contemplated what a Wondrous God we serve who would create such an enormous, amazing, beautiful and ever changing thing. It is a difficult thing to put into words. In honor of Guam's beauty we spent the afternoon wandering our neighborhood taking pictures of all the lovely things we wanted to remember. These photos were all taken right in our own yard or in our neighborhood. If we walk up the street about two blocks we get an amazing view of the harbor and the sunsets. We have stood on that hill and watched the storms blow in across the ocean, viewed a full double rainbow, watched ships pull in and sail out or looked up into the crystal clear night sky. We have been blessed to live in such an amazing place. The photos can be viewed on our Picasa web album labeled Guam's Beauty. Enjoy!
