The Joys of Camping

praise Him

There’s just something about the mountains. 

The beauty, the smell, the sounds…the feeling it gives and makes it feel like you’re in the Kingdom of God.

I’m continuing my list of the things I’m thanking God for and there were many from a mountaintop experience…

What are some things you are thankful for this summer?

 

#1481  sunny, perfect days to camp and hike

#1482  being unplugged in nature for a weekend

#1483  I never threw up from riding on those curvy mountain roads…but hard eucharisteo is that I felt like it.  (Still trying to find reasons to be thankful for motion sickness!)
