Being reminded of the beauty of where we live can bring renewed appreciation for the privilege

I am suddenly reminded of what a privilege it is to call my home Tampa, along with a history before that of longing for living in such a beautiful place.
It is a big gift that my God has put all the pieces in place for this to be a big part of my life - financial support through a job, a wife willing to pursue my dream with me despite the pain of moving farther from family, growing roots that make a beautiful location (Tampa) an actual home.
These gifts continue to give me daily reasons for great gratitude. What a beautiful world our God has provided for our playground. I pray that I never again take it for granted.
