Steve had his duty day...one of the blessings we love out here...it means that he has 2 Saturdays. We talked about getting on the ferry system, looking at both Washington and British Colombia ferry systems. We decided (actually Steve decided) that we should do a photo trip and just photo what we see.
We headed for LaConner, a favorite spot for us. Because of the warm winter that we have had, the tulip fields of Skagit County, usually in bloom in April, are starting to bloom now. So we got into the car, armed with camera and the book The Shack and headed for Skagit County.
For years when we have gone on road trips, we have read books. It makes the time pass, we have read some classic books, and our family loved the time we had listening to the stories. Our church is having the author of The Shack right after Easter and our small group is discussing the book before he comes...so it made sense that we read the book together. This time, we even read the book as we were sitting by the water during lunch.
Lunch along the water, eaten outside...daffodil fields blooming...the sun shining warm and bright...spending time together...discussing the book...enjoying each other...a gift from our Heavenly Father.
We love exploring new places and discovering the amazing world that God has given us. Then, there are days when we want the comfort of the known. Although the excitement is fun in life and in our spiritual life, the comfort of the known is also good. For our "first Saturday" this week, we chose the known and found the blesssings that God had for us.
