There are Lord's Days...
...when the afternoons are spent happy to be together again...
...ignoring clouds and threats of storms and delighting in making and floating boats down little brooks with friends...
...enjoying the simple pleasures of catching tiny toads...
...marveling at creatures great and small...
...finding adventure and facing it together...
...fording frigid rivers...
...celebrating small victories...
...moving on to grater adventures....
...conquering fears by sliding down natural rock slides into cascade pools...
...marveling at God's handiwork - the beauty of nature and of children...
...sharing laughter and joy...
...so grateful to have my boy back from camp...
...and so blessed to wind down a weekend away in Western MA with good friends and an awesome travel buddy daughter.
Not every day is ideal - and even seemingly ideal days have some "reality strikes" moments in them. But some days, on the whole, are oh so refreshing.
This was one of them - and I am so grateful for it.
Sabbath can be so special, the Lord's Day so filled with love and refreshment.
I am so glad to have set aside time for faith, (part of our) family, friends, and adventure. I am so astounded by the beauty of God's handiwork. I marvel at the incredible blessings our Lord grants us and encourage you to set aside some time for prayer, thanksgiving, and recreation on a regular basis.
Sometimes close to home and simple. Sometimes further afield and filled with adventure. Consistently, blessed. I am grateful for the Lord's Day.

**If you want to travel to any of the lovely little spots in Western, MA that are pictured here, I recommend Mohawk Trail State Forest campground, Chapel Brook Falls, and Tannery Falls.**
