The test of all happiness is gratitude.
G.K. Chesterton
One of the most recent stray gifts that has stayed with me is a road trip we took last month. John had spotted a body of water on the map months ago and was curious, so we made a plan to make a day of it. We packed a picnic lunch and set out, not knowing exactly what we were looking for. The three of us were definitely up for the adventure and excited about heading out onto the open road and away from the city. What we were looking for was Red Bluffs State Park and Reservoir in Orla, Texas. When we did find the lake, we couldn’t believe how much water there was! There were quite a few ducks and even a blue heron! We enjoyed the day out very much and were grateful John felt well enough to drive and get out for the day.
