Me and Beth E.,
along with her Bill and my Billy,
are headed for a rendezvous in Tennessee,
for some food, fellowship, and long-overdue revelry.
are headed for a rendezvous in Tennessee,
for some food, fellowship, and long-overdue revelry.
Not sure what we’ll find,
although God’s mountains come to mind,
and as long as He’s there,
a deep communion we’re guaranteed to share.
OK, Laura, so I’m not a poet, but I felt the upcoming weekend deserved a little tribute. Beth, I’ll meet you in the mountains, and Lord willing, I’ll “see” the rest of you next week. I might even pick up something crafty for a give-away! Until then,
“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word of deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” (Colossians 3:15-17)
As always, friends, God’s peace for the journey,
Oh Elaine, I am so very much a mountain girl! Love living in the mountains and I love vacationing in the mountains. I meet the Lord each morning and I exercise in these beautiful North GA mountains. I hope you have a wonderful refreshing time!

Sounds like a wonderful weekend ahead! May the time together knit your hearts from the keystrokes of blogging to heartstrings of IRL (in real life) friends.
Shalom,
Denise
PS…keep your computer away from Beth's – don't want her "computer pig flu" to spread. I am fully wanting to hear all about this trip! :o)

I know you will have such a wonderful time. I'm sitting here sighing, wishing for another trip to the mountains.
I don't know if a someone could be any more jealous than this someone is right at this very moment!!!!
Hope you have a wonderful time, but I'm thinkin' the next time you sneak away it need to be Sunny that you're sneakin' too…

Have a WONDERFUL time, my dear Elaine. ENJOY!
Living in the country all these years but only 20 minutes from the ocean – I now long for mountains in my later years!
I just came from seeing some breathtaking mountain scenes in the heart of Mexico on my mission's trip.
I am praying that God will show you His glory in the creation He has made as you rest and relax in His place of solitude for a time.
I look forward to hearing what God will do on your time away. He always does things far beyond our imaginations!
Leaping for JOY,
Stephanie

It sounds like you have a wonderful trip planned. I will be praying for safe travel and fun for all.
I can just see you in those chairs overlooking the mountain vista — you two beautiful souls who love … and who are loved by your "Bill"s.
Have a ball.
xoxo
