I know, that's an old cliche. But it is what my husband and I have been doing a little more of lately. A few weeks ago we took a trip back north just to visit family. We took more time than the usual rush up and back. We had a good time rekindling the family ties. We also took some time to actually stop and see some sights along the way, such as a waterfall in the Delaware Water Gap in Pennsylvania. We had driven that road (Route 209) for as many years as we have been married and we never stopped to follow any of the signs to the falls. It was such a delight to be walking in the cool shade amidst the wild rhododendrons, following a boardwalk trail to the waterfalls. We also visited Lancaster County (Amish country) and actually went into some of the shops and a quilt museum (which inspired me to try my hand at making a simple quilt). Finally, last weekend we went to the Creation Museum in Florence, KY almost at the spur of the moment (sorry, another cliche) and thoroughly enjoyed it. The ministry of Answers in Genesis has done a fantastic job.
Something else I have been doing, which I have neglected, is crocheting. After making two small blankets, I wonder why I hadn't done this sooner. I enjoy crafts such as needlework, crochet and sewing. I did a lot more when I was younger. It is strange, but I have a hard time getting myself to start a project, but once I do, I thoroughly enjoy it, even if I do make mistakes, and I find it hard to stop.
Before I close, I must share a Bible verse. Have I shared this one before?
"Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. " Psalms 103: 1- 5
