FIELDS OF THE WOOD (Day Trip)
BIBLICAL THEME PARK (NC)
A few days ago I told my wife I wanted to get
up and go to Fields of the Wood. We got up one a beautiful Tuesday morning
grabbed a few things along with Little Bit and Lady Di (our dogs) and took off
for the mountains. It was such a beautiful drive with blue skies and white
clouds enjoying God’s creation as we looked at the trees and the water along
the way.
Since we only live 50 miles away we were
there in an hour and proceeded up the mountain to see the All Nations Cross and
Flags. We drove around and came back to the top of Ten Commandment Mountain. We
got out and turned the dogs loose as we looked at the view and then sat down
for a spell. Since we normally keep Lady Di on a lease she went wild and had a
ball with Little Bit.
Edwina and I took out her kindles and we read
our scriptures for the day and prayed for all our prayer needs. What a
wonderful feeling to touch God while on the mountain top. I then proceeded to
walk down Ten Commandment Mountain and back up. Yes, I was slow but I did it
all the way. On the way back up two ladies stopped me and said sir you know you
can drive to the top and I smiled and said I know I parked up there.
Next we went to the bookstore and of course I
saw a shirt I had to have, my wife went in while I kept the dogs and bought it
for me. It says “I climbed 10 Commandment Mountain and survived.” What a treat
for me, four months ago I had trouble walking to me car but not today.
Next, Edwina and the dog’s grove to the top
of Prayer Mountain and waited for me. Of course, I’m enjoying being able to
walk and yes I slowed climbed to the top stopping along the way at the Witness
Tree and some of the stones. What a privilege
to stand at the top looking out over the view and even remember that in 1957 I
had my first view of the marvelous place.
I now proceeded the walk back down and yes,
they were waiting for me at the bottom. My knees were now wobbly and they greeted
me and we got in the car and headed back home for the day.
What a beautiful day trip and time with my
wife and dogs. God is so good to me. I thank you Lord for being able to do this
climb again. What a peace and joyful time we had this day and we fellowship
together with our Lord.
REMEMBER
“If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our
sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1John 1:9
