Another part of our trip …
was to drive a more scenic route other than the main roads. We ended up finding several old covered bridges. We like to look at them and explore the ages and type of bridge they are for each are different and have unique beauty.
I didn’t mention our vacation was called three days in a pup tent.
It was going to be an adventure for us all exploring places we had never been before as we were driving down to the southern Oregon coast.
BUT when the rain came…and the crows were loud … (the camp had large noisy crows that woke us all up in the early morning hours) and it was looking like a damp second night in a tent with sleeping bags and air mattresses.I asked if we could think of something more dry to stay in such as a motel. Although I am not by nature fond of hotel/motels. It sounded nicer than a wet ‘bed’. I didn’t complain just voiced an opinion that I was not thrilled with a tent that was wet and seeping into our sleeping ‘rooms.’
SO we all packed into the car and drove till we found a camper RV park with this cute little cabin. It slept 6 with a queen bed in the first room and two double bunks in the second room. No bathroom but a roof and a furnace was a nice addition.
Not too far from where this little home was located in the park they had a ‘nice wash room and shower area.’
So I continued on as a camper and felt warm and relaxed as we began our new day to explore.
This was a very large rhododendron bush we found on our vacation.
I was in awe of the size of this bush. It was as high as a building next to it and almost as wide. Can you imagine the years of weather and storms it has lived through?
God has created a beautiful world for us to enjoy.
I pray you find something beautiful today …
and Thank the one who made it.
Psalm 16: 7-11
I will bless the Lord who guides me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
I know the Lord is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice.
My body rests in safety.
For you will not leave my soul
among the dead or allow your holy one
to rot in the grave.
You will show me the way of life,
granting me the joy of your presence
and the pleasure of living with you forever.
Isn’t it awesome that when we release our control… He guides us.
Isn’t it awesome that at night when we feel nothing is happening…
our hearts are teaching us.
Isn’t it awesome that we are not abandoned… He is always with us.
Isn’t it awesome that we do not have to fear… for we rest in His safety.
Isn’t it awesome that our souls are cared for… for He carries us into life.
Isn’t it awesome that we find joy through the presence of the Lord.
Isn’t GOD awesome?
For He LOVES us SO much… John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
A Psalm of David …Psalm 15
Who may worship in your sanctuary, Lord?
Who may enter your presence on your holy hill?
Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right,
speaking the truth from sincere hearts.
Those who refuse to gossip
or harm their neighbors
or speak evil of their friends.
Those who despise flagrant sinners,
and honor the faithful followers of the Lord,
and keep their promises even when it hurts.
Those who lend money without charging interest,
and who cannot be bribed to lie about the innocent.
Such people will stand firm forever.
A psalm for the day for us to ‘reflect on’.
Lord God help us to be all that you want for us…
Help us to enter your ‘sanctuary’ with a desire to be blameless in all that we do
and help us to keep sincere hearts and pure motives.
