This piece is one of my personal favorites. I have always had a love for the mountains, especially the Rockies in Colorado. There is just something to be said for the smell of fresh air and pine trees, and the challenge of pushing your limits on a good hike. I'v e heard the quote "The best views are after the hardest climbs". I would absolutely agree, both in the physical, but also in our spiritual walks as well. I've found in my faith with God that it's the hardest challenges that have had the most beautiful results. May this be an encouragement to you today friend, that through all the hills and valleys, we always find our way back home.
