Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

A Surprise Weekend

My amazing husband surprised me with a quick weekend away at the coast!
Guess where we started the weekend?
The beautiful redwoods and the amazing undergrowth.
In the rain, that was captured in the picture.
David loves nature photographs--enjoy!
Nothing seemed to escape his notice.
And then, the beautiful Oregon coast.







It was cool and slightly windy, but God gave us a beautiful 2 hours here with no rain!


The next day we had another clear two hours for a long walk on the beach collecting rocks and shells.

And my wonderful husband had called ahead for our room!
Flowers, candy and dinner!
The only glimpse of a sunset in the two days!
The blessing we received on our last morning.
A beautiful, full double rainbow right out our window.
On the way home we had to laugh at this sign.
Can you believe they have COLOR TV with HBO?
And the rooms are all "quite" wow!!
A quaint little lighthouse.

You have to love how life comes out of death,
what a picture of our spiritual life!
Amazing light.
More life.
And what 'looks' like death.....
....but is really life.
Wow
Thank you my wonderful man!! It was an awesome weekend.
I saw a lot of my husband like this, enjoying creation.
So thankful for the way he reminds me to enjoy each moment.
And each small treasure the Lord places in front of us.
