"Now the Lord God appointed a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort" (Jonah 4:5, ESV).
God appointed such a place for me the last 24 hours. I am at the Heritage Inn where my husband is attending a meeting. Yesterday I swam in this pool (had it almost to myself), then took in 15 minutes of vitamin D just outside the door. This morning we breakfasted under the shade of this indoor (artificial) tree.
While my husband attends meetings this morning, I plan to swim some more, sun a bit, then expose my heart and mind to the Word.
"Search me, O God, and know my hear! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting" (Psalm 139:23-24).
What a great time you two have.We used to do that more, but now not as much. I see you have taken all your sidebar items and made separate pages. I have tried to get myself motivated to do that for my blog. I may try today , thanks much, Oh ! Yes, to pray to be RIGHT where God wants you to be, excellent concept straight from God . bye , have fun ! Gina
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place...and a great way to stay cool. :-)
ReplyDeleteI had to take a closer look at that tree! It still looked real! There is a Frank Loyd Wright house up north that has a tree growing in the middle of it. I was fortunate enough to get to see it when I was in middle school. I don't even know if it's still there. That's what your photo reminded me of. And I loved the message that went along with it. And I can understand where discomfort can be interpreted as evil. I mean if something makes you feel uncomfortable, than it's usually not right! Right?!

The Heritage Inn is certainly a serene lovely place to be, Rebecca! The tree is so life-like!

I miss staying at the Heritage Inn. How wonderful to combine meetings, family, refreshment, and fun. Blessings indeed.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved Heritage Inn. Didn't know you were having a little R & R while Hubby works. What a nice treat!
ReplyDeleteAmazing indoor tree...to think that it's artificial!
