Rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation

We decided to get away. It was a last minute thing that turned into a God blessed thing. We LOVE Bend, OR and decided Thursday to go. We packed Thursday night and drove down on Friday. We got in contact with a fellow pastor from there who found us a house to stay in.....for FREE!!! Little did we know (as this was so very last minute) but, there was a big race/event going on this very weekend and the hotels were all booked. We wouldn't have been able to find anything in town, but God allowed us to stay close to all the action, all we had to pay for was food and fun! What a huge blessing! We enjoyed warm sunshine, parks, beautiful scenery, and even a thunderstorm. It was a time of rest, a time of relaxing, and a time of rejuvenation.

We enjoyed fellowship and great preaching on Sunday, followed by an afternoon at a park. The children fed goslings and even did some "sword" fighting with some interesting characters! There was entertainment and fun equipment to play on. All in all, we had a fantastic time!
