Retreat

Beautiful, beautiful weekend.
31Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest." Mark 6:31


We spent a lovely weekend, resting, focusing and reconnecting to our spouses and a renewing of our faith. If you have not visited Roan Mountain State Park, I highly recommend the trip. No cell phone service, no television, no computers just the peaceful sound of God's creation. Thank you Lord!













On a final note, please keep us in your prayers. Mom B. has been in the hospital since last Monday. She is struggling with health issues, and the loss of her other half. Pray for strength and peace.
Dear Jesus,
Please send the comforter to offer comfort, peace and strength to the dear lady in the hospital. Give wisdom and compassion to the health care professionals as they minister to her physical needs. In Jesus name, Amen.
XOXO

Summer Rest!

The summer is winding to a close.
Several of my teacher friends have already begun the new school year. I am pleased to know I have a few more days before I begin that journey.

We decided to celebrate the end of our summer by spending a few days in a cabin in Pigeon Forge, TN. Due to scheduling conflicts, this has been the first time we've all been together on a family vacation since we moved to TN. five years ago.
Our oldest and his significant other drove from KY on Saturday to meet us there. We had so much fun!

We spent one evening enjoying the show at the "Dixie Stampede".
The food was great and the entertainment even better! Hubby was chosen to represent the south by playing a game of horse shoes with a potty seat.
We laughed and laughed!
He won a medal for his efforts. We were a proud family. :0)
One evening we spent in Gatlinburg, walking the sidewalks as tourists tend to do. We stopped off for Italian food.
Our family is "growing" and what a joy it is to be able to share a vacation with these young adults!
I am blessed and I thank God for His goodness!
Preparing for a new school year.
XOXO
