Memorable Trail Rides

Memorable trail rides
Fill Autumn with delight
Mountain top’s a site
Great to behold!

We took TazE along
He sure loved going for rides
Following side-by-sides
Meeting with friends

Picnic in October
High up in the mountains
Far from drinking fountains
Brought our supplies

Our friends followed up close
We all enjoyed the sites
Trees were a yellow bright
Memorable

Nod

Give a nod to Autumn 🍂

The bush outside my window announces that gorgeous season.

We kayaked to this lake for many a beautiful mile.

Give a nod to the fall season in Switzerland for a reason.

Soon those leaves will fall into a pile.

Love our 4 Seasons!

Change

“Change is a powerful, sacred force… The transitioning landscape is a testament to the Creator’s steady hand in a chaotic world.” (A quote from today’s devotional in These Days)

The snow capped mountains soon give way to barren mountain tops … but each season has a beauty of its own.

“The environment is a living sanctuary…”

In sunshine or rain, give thanks for the natural world’s beauty.

“The psalmists frequently personify the natural world, giving mountains, forests and seas anthropomorphic attributes…”

The hills were singing 🎵

The Lord reminds us we are new every morning! Embrace change!

Happy Autumn to you, my friends. Embrace the day. May the majesty of the natural world remind us all that God is in control. Breathe deeply in the holy refuge of creation.

Love, JanBeek

We just had the privilege of a week with our son here in Ennis, MT. We loved every minute of that precious time together. While the skies were smoky each day (you couldn’t even see the mountains through the smoke), and it didn’t begin to clear until the day he was leaving, we didn’t let that deter us from having a good time.

Yummy time at Dave’s Sushi preceding time at the movies (Odyssey)

Sharing meals together was highlighted by great conversations

The mountains peeked through the smoke and the antelope showed up to say goodbye as we were driving Ty to the airport

We stopped at Fiesta Mexicana for lunch before dropping Ty off at the Gallatin Bozeman airport

Mmm – great margaritas! And delicious food

Ty’s flight was delayed and he had a challenging set of flights and car trouble… but God made sure his needs were met and he was home that night safe & sound.

And our home has seen blue skies since then. Come back soon, Ty. And bring Monika!

We’ll keep you up to date on the progress of the house being built in the field across from us!

We were blessed indeed to have such a blest week!

Love,

Pinch Me

We say, “Pinch me” when we see something too beautiful or experience something too wonderful to be real. Yesterday I needed you to pinch me more than once.
