Blessed
What an absolute wonderful weekend. I realized I had not been out of the City for a weekend since last October. We opened up our motorhome and rested. I walked miles and enjoyed the trees waving at me, the birds chirping some praise song and the loads of dragon flies that endlessly darted in front of me. I think they were mad that I had invaded their space.The weather was awesome. I slept so sound and all through the night. I wasn't waiting up for my sons to come home! What's up with a mother constantly wondering if those boys are okay. I totally trust them, it's the other weirdo's out there!
We attended the service at Word of Life in Red Deer on Sunday. It's much bigger than I imagined. I then sat by the water for 20 minutes and got burned. I just love sitting by the water and listening to the waves lapping against the shore and hear the rustle of the leaves as they gently move in the breeze. The smells of summer are quite alive too. The smell of grass coming alive, the odours of all the different trees is soooo summer! For those of you with allergies, it's a nightmare.
We also enjoyed barbecuing our meals. What a treat to have meals. We are so rushed at home that it is a rare time we get to sit and enjoy a meal.
I must have thanked my husband a dozen times for taking me away. He travels so much that I'm sure staying at home would have been his preference but I embraced every minute of this weekend with extreme thankfulness. It was so nice to "be still".
There were so many times I just felt God's love wrapping His arms around me and refreshing my spirit. It is so hard to describe but it was awesome. I finished reading a book "Hosting the Holy Spirit" that I want to re-read. There were a couple of chapters particularly that I just kept saying "wow, wow". I felt we actually have lived through some of those experiences of revival. I came home totally blessed!
