One of my most favorite places in the world is Camp Berea, in New Hampshire. Much of my spiritual growth in my younger years occurred there, as well as leadership training. I get back from time to time, but have realized that more than the beauty of the place, it is the people there that meant so much to me. The work there goes on-- God continues to use the place for His glory. But the investment people made in me is what I treasure the most.
Hi Julie,
I have friends, Esther and David Scamen who make the annual family pilgrimage to Camp Berea also...would be strange if you knew them too! Small world.
Van,
You are in my thoughts and prayers...I'm home now from the hospital...for the details of what's been going on you can look at my blog: www.cynthialottvogel.blogspot.com
Blessings!
You just touch my heart. My favorite place is Puerto Rico and Florida. I grew up in San Juan, PR and the mountain, beach, shells, food and my entire family I miss. Visiting Puerto Rico is something we can not do much, airfare is too expensive. But I have pictures and memories. My Mom calls me almost everyday, so I do get to talked with my sister, brother, nephews. Florida is where my and the children moved when my husband died and where I meet my husband James. Ministry took us to Springfield, MO and my in-laws are in Florida. Love the ocean breeze, sometimes I close my eyes and remember. But I remember the most, the Promise I made to my Lord, to follow Him anywhere He send my husband and I.
When I was in the military about 25 years ago, I was stationed in Japan for 2 years. I truly loved the cherry blossom time at Kamakura (spelling?). Right now, I have lived in Iowa for 20 years or so and I tell you right here in Cedar Rapids, it is beautiufl all year around (except for the 2008 flood). We have the seasons, we have the colors - yes, we have the very cold winters...even that has such beauty. I am blessed that I have been able to live here. The military life was good; I saw many beautiufl places - but the civilian world, being in Iowa, married to a godly man - nothing beats it!
