Nature Walk

So Monday, on my way home I had the chance to stop in Clinton, IL to visit my good buddy Hunter.  He and I worked together at camp this summer and became "brochas" over time.  We took me to eat at this little cafe style place along the lake shore, and then proceeded to lead me to a trail around the lake.  On this walk, we were able to enjoy God's creation in nature.  We spent the trail catching up on the stuff we have been up to we since we both left camp. 

We went back to his house after the trail and I met his family and they invited me to dinner.  They were a fun family to be with and to talk with.  I could see and feel God in this household.  The love that each of them had for each other was truly inspiring.  I am truly grateful for them to allow me into their home and lives for dinner and discussion. 

We are all part of God's family.  He shows us unconditional love each and every moment of each and everyday.  When we are young, we love him back.  When we are older we come to love him even more.  In between we are like "teenage" Christians.  We think we know everything and that we don't always need him.  This is far from true.  Unfortunately, it takes us a long time to actually realize this and to act upon it.  My challenge is that everyone work on leaving their Christian adolescence and grow to love God with the same unconditional love that he shows us. 

Thanks again for reading my blog.  I hope that you all were able to find some relation in these words to your lives.  Thanks again and don't forget to spread the Jesus!

GOD BLESS!
