Fall Pics, Women's Retreat~

Over the weekend me, my mom, and sister went on a Women's Retreat through church to Camp Lebanon. It was a fun time. Hearing 200+ women singing worship to the Lord was overwhelming to me. I was moved to tears. Watching the sun rise over looking the lake each morning made me grateful that I live in MN, and thankful to the Lord for the beautiful gifts He gives. The food was good, there was lots of laughter, and my mom doing the zip line was one of the coolest things that has happened in a long time!! The smile on her face is priceless. I can only imagine all of the reasons this was something really special for her. I, however, chickened out. I tried to "fake" a pic to fool the kids, haha...that didn't work out so well. Enjoy the pics, and while I'm writing, the song, "This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! This is the day! This is the day that the Lord has made" is going through my mind. So enjoy this day that our Savior has made! Rejoice and be glad in it.

Before I got too a-scared!

My mom is waaaay in the back....

How sweet is this?!

Guess I couldn't fool the kids!! LOL

Fall Days and nights~

Fall has to be one of my favorite seasons. No...it is my favorite season. The smells, the sounds, the beautiful tapestry God has created for our viewing pleasure. I want to relish in it this year. I want to find the beauty in the intricate web made by the spider, listen to the birds making their plans for the winter around the corner....laugh at the squirrels who think I don't see them stealing all the bird food out of our feeder. I thank our Lord for all He has blessed us with. We take too much for granted.

On Saturday, me, my mom, Emily,Caleb, Abby, and Emily's friend, Ellie went to Brainerd for the day to visit with Sami and James. We had a really nice time at the Nisswa Fall Festival, a Pumpkin Patch/Corn Maze/Petting Zoo, laying around on the hammock, and and having a bon fire. Things to treasure, things to be grateful for.
