This is the crew I get to hang out with every day. Doesn't get any better than this ❤️. ⁠
⁠
And yes...I do believe this is our daughter's 3rd wrist fracture. (1. Monkey bars 2. Trampoline and 3. Roller Blading). ⁠
⁠
Nevertheless, we had the best time at Bushkill Falls and its 8 spectacular waterfalls. What a perfect fall day for exploring and enjoying God's handiwork. Totally worth the trip if you've never been before.⁠
⁠
Romans 1:20⁠
20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.⁠

"It's often the fog that helps us see more clearly."

Finally stopped to take some pictures during my regular morning drive, as this valley produces the most wonderful blanket of fog during the early morning hours of fall.

It is breathtakingly beautiful and at the same time, uncomfortable. It demands that we pause. It commands our full attention. And it causes us to gaze upon that which we cannot see with a resting hope of what's beyond it.

To me, this is the most beautiful picture of faith. There is no better place to be than in it.

"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)

One of my favorite moments of the year is when I get to interview wonderful kids and young adults (and their families) who have gone through incredible life struggles due to life-threatening illnesses for Dream Come True. Their stories are hard and their difficulties are often not over. But what you do hear are stories of incredible strength and resilience, coupled with intentional acceptance of the challenges before them. It's amazing to see how their illnesses have led them to a place of peace, joy, and purposeful living.⁠
⁠
Thanks to Dream Come True, children and families going through serious and sometimes terminal illnesses, get to enjoy seeing their wish or dream granted, whether it be a trip to Disney World or meeting one of their favorite sports stars. You name the dream and Dream Come True does their best to fulfill it. ⁠
⁠
I'll be sharing pieces of their stories over the next few weeks. And you can catch their interviews on RCN this December 2020. Date TBD.⁠ May God bless these wonderful families!

I found my devotional (Morning and Evening by Spurgeon) rather timely today with the big prayer event happening in Washington, D.C. today about returning to God by coming before His presence in humility, in sincerity, in prayer, and repentance. Hope you can watch! https://thereturnsimulcast.com/the-return

As per usual, I love to stop and focus in on certain words in the scripture and zoomed in on the myrtle trees.

Myrtle trees in the Bible:
- evergreens
- provide plenty of foilage for coverage
- symbol of recovery and the establishment of God's promises

Spurgeon describes the myrtle grove this way:
- the Church flourishing in a valley
- flourishes by still waters, unshaken by the wind
- inner tranquility: even when opposed and persecuted, she has a peace which the world gives not, and which, it cannot take away

Boice describes it this way:
“Israel is not likened to a cedar of Lebanon, which is majestic, or an oak tree, which is strong. Having blossoms that emit a sweet fragrance when crushed, the myrtle illustrates the strange grace of Israel in affliction.”

I hope and pray that we can return to God and receive his grace in this time of affliction, flourishing peacefully and quietly like the myrtle.
