Our Best Days

 

What’s sacred to you? 

If “sacred” implies transcendent worth and value, if hearing that word suggests you’d be wise to treasure something, someone or some magnificent experience you deem sacrosanct and holy, you’ll understand when I say, “Some things are too good to throw away, too wonderful to toss aside. Some experiences are so rich and filling, it’s obvious they’ve come from God.”

I’ve just had a some days like that.

The Lord gave me a few days with my son in northern Ontario. My brother was there with his son too. My friend Steve Smith has a little cabin on a fly-in-lake and he presented me with a precious gift - time in the wilderness with family and friends. 

I caught some fish, saw eagles fly and watched otters play.  I saw a bull caribou swim across the lake, a blond-phase black bear patrolling the shoreline and Moose tracks in the woods near the cabin.

And I enjoyed worshiping God in the beauty of his creation.

Psalm 145:4-6  -  One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts. They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty and I will meditate on your wonderful works. They will tell of the power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds.

Mark,

Glad you're getting some much deserved time in nature. Hope Aaron is doing well and that you caught some whoppers. Looking forward to following your adventures for the next few months. Looking even more forward to having you back around later in the fall. God Bless.
