Beauty


It is so gorgeous right now. Out side the sun is shining and we have clear blue skies.

These past few weeks have been busy for us. Obviously we are working on planning a wedding from afar, Our son is graduating from College as I write this.... ( and we weren't able to be there)
We just finished another marriage retreat and continue to fulfill our role and serve our men and women in uniform. There is a young lady whom I met the other day who seemed to only see
the wrong in everything. At first I thought she was just being honest about one topic but by the time our weekend marriage retreat was over, I realized she really couldn't see beauty in anything.

We tend to get stuck on looking at faults in things and in people around us rather than trying to see what is good. It is so much easier to see the faults but sometimes it takes really making an effort to see the good.

Phil. 4:7-8
"Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things."

New Places and New Adventures

After so much time away it feels refreshing to be back at blogging.  Here are just a few picture...
