As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news (and friends) from a far country (Proverbs 25:25).

Gearing up for a scrumdillylicious lunch! Under cover 

Such was the case of our recent visit with the Sager Team! Since their family moved to Texas, over 3 years have elapsed between seeing them. How wonderful though it was to see the hand of God at work in their midst and to be encouraged once again that God is raising a mighty generation all across the land who will stand for Him.

Hiking through the gorgeous woods The rushing river winds throughout the gorgeous forest of White Oak Canyon The Wilkes & Sager Young Ladies

There were several highlights from our time with them. Years On top 'The Rock' - everyone wave your hatago when the Wilkes and Sager Teams were much fewer in number, our families drove to the beautiful White Oak Canyon trail within the Shenandoah Mountains near Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria, VA. The parents on top 'The Rock'At the head of the trail is a large rock where our families had taken a picture at over 15 years ago. Almost two times in number this time around, we all climbed to the top for a memorable photo. Recent rain storms throughout the area made the rivers absolutely beautiful as we hiked through the woods, sharing memories and making new ones!

A beautiful day! One of many stunning settings

Everyone waves from the rocking chairs at Graves Mountain Lodge Posing next to a dead bear - WOW!

Our time together came to an end all too fast. Games were played, hilarious memories made :-) , inspiring Wisdom Playing a fun game of 'Occupations'Searches had, and spirits encouraged as the Rock of our Salvation, Jesus Christ, was glorified. Thank you Sager Team for blessing our home and for being a testimony to us of Proverbs 17:22.

“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.”
