Pro. 13:12 - Hope deferred makes the heart sick; but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.
We leave tomorrow for Colorado. We are flying with our boys and Charm to go skiing. We will stay in a plush 3 bedroom condo, ski in-ski out, and eat in the restaurant of our choice. What a trip!!! I say all this to say this is all such a gift from God.
When the boys were young we rarely had the money to go on vacations. While all our friends were going to Disney World, skiing, etc. every year we were going to Toledo Bend for family reunions. Every now and then we took big trips but certainly not like those around us. It always bothered Dave that he couldn't take us on big vacations. A couple of years ago our niece was getting married in Hawaii. God blessed us with a large amount of unaccounted for money so we took the boys and Charm and went. It was so much fun and we decided to try to do it more often. Now our kids are at a great age to travel with. No one is asking, "Are we there yet?" It is just pure fun!
Last year I told Dave that we should take the family skiing this year. He looked a little apprehensive. He said it might take him more than a year to save for this. I told him not to worry, God was going to pay for it. He was relieved. Well, right after that we received some unexpected money and we knew this was for our trip.
I know this is a hard time in our economy, but we who know our God will prosper in hard times and do great things. Going to Colorado might not seem very spiritual to those who don't have eyes to see, but to those who do; it is! To us it is a tree of life!

May God sprinkle you like salt wherever he needs you! Bet there are people in Colorado that need that breath of freedom that follows you wherever you go!
