What really happened

The retreat this weekend was filled with laughter, smiles, hugs, walking around in beautiful surroundings, coffee, yummy food, relaxed in the hot tub, cool crisp air, listening and learning, singing, tears shed, fears shared, praying, togetherness, watched some extreme sports, crying, worship, communion, sleepless nights, sharing, eating, camp fire worship, conversations, community......women coming together.  As refreshing as it was, it also was exhausting but totally worth it and unforgettable. God was there with each of us over the weekend and he is with each of us now as we walk away separately back into our lives.  Thank you Lord for such an amazing weekend.

A time to tear and a time to mend.  A time to quiet and a time to speak.  Ecclesiastes 3:7

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.  Mother Teresa

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up.  Ecclesiastes 4:9-9
