God's Country
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, beauty can escape us.
It is only by living in the moment that we can experience our
wondrous environment. Sometimes traveling to a new and exciting
place helps us to take notice of our surroundings.
Christmas Away From Home
My husband and oldest daughter, Angie, were my traveling
companions as we left Grand Rapids, Michigan on the morning of
December 24. It was the beginning of the first snow storm of the
year. At 7 a.m. we had about 3 inches of snow and more was on
its way. I kept thinking Oh, please just let us get out of
Michigan! If we can just get off the ground in Michigan, we'll
probably escape the storm and get safely to our destination -
Las Vegas. Sure enough, the flight was on time and we arrived in
Las Vegas by 11 a.m. We had a great lunch (in 60 degree weather)
and did some sightseeing.
It felt fun and exciting to be spending Christmas away from home
for the first time. The travel plans were well organized
