Texas is hot again this spring, but not as hot as the past 4. We thank YOU Jesus for Your abundant provision for this land that we call home.
We've had wedding parties, business trippers, and graduation families at our homes. What a welcome group each one has been. It seems that weekend of the Western Heritage, all three college graduations and then all the other things added in make it difficult for people to find lodging. Once again, the LORD set up the ones who were here at our homes. What joy each was!
We had a community couple get married this month and the bridesmaids stayed in the 2 bedroom on some of the most crazy weather nights of the season... I suppose the OK tornadoes as well as the Gandbury one have us a little extra cautious. Luckily it was clear that one of those bridesmaids had a savvy mind when it came to preparations. Hence... no worries for me.
In spite of the heat and lack of water, the poppies and the purple verbena still made a show for our people. We are always grateful for the color up on the hillside.
Lord, may I never take for granted any thing You allow in our life. I know that one of the greatest gifts You allow is TIME.... we thank YOU for the time that you give to each of our guests and we ask that You let them take some of the peace You grant here back to their homes.
As the times we live in are changing so rapidly, we ask that You make us aware of the seasons and give us grace and discernment to be the people You call us to be. We ask blessings over those who have walked our hillsides and that Your providence follow them as they leave our hillsides.
Just as the unexpected wheat sprang up from under the oaks signified to me that it is YOU WHO make the plans and provide for our needs, make us aware of each moment and each treasure that may go unnoticed if not for Your impetus to our vision. Thank You Father.....
AND...
Thank you to each of you who have prayed as you were here in our cottages.
So often the guest book reflects the truth that was spoken from the beginnings of GateWay GetaWay...
THERE TRULY IS PEACE IN THIS PLACE....
thank you for praying for it's continuance.
Grace and peace to all who read these words and see our cottages.
