God's Beauty

We just got back from Ruidoso and it was beautiful. We usually go in July and it is usually pretty dry. But it was lush and green and rained 2 days while we were there. When you get to see mountains and trees and it is really peaceful and laid back, you can really enjoy the beauty of God's creation.
We went with my mother and Brice. They hadn't been since they moved from there 15 yrs ago. Cody wanted to go so he invited them to go with us. It was fun for them to see how it has grown and to get to visit with some people they hadn't seen in so long.
The kids LOVED it!! Cody took them on nature walks and they got to see deer and play in the puddles after the rain. We went to the Flying J as usual and the kids loved it. Elizabeth danced in the aisle and Thomas just sat in my lap w/his hands folded staring at the stage.
It was nice to get away. I know Cody really needed a break. It was nice to go to Ruidoso since we didn't go there for our annual Dye family vacation.
You know the Bible said give thanks in everything we do. He is so good and when you look and think about how he cares even for the tiniest of things how much more He cares for us and wants for us.
3 John 2 "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." That is what John prayed for us and that is what God wants for us. Know that He is good. He loves us, he hates when we sin and turn away from Him but He wants us all to go to Heaven. Repent and accept Jesus and feel God's love and know that He has taken care of ALL of your needs and we will see Him in Glory!!

Glad to hear you had such a wonderful time and enjoy the scenery as well. I am so glad it was nice weather, cool at least! I can not say the same for my trip! Definately not cool. See you Sunday.
