We were hiking along, just like normal. When we were almost at the end of the second leg of the trail, we spotted it!
 |
| "What's that up there on the right?" "Something new! Let's check it out!" |
It was a bench! We gave it a thorough checking out!
 |
| "This is very interesting!" "I'll say!" |
Can you see it? It's a very clever bench, with special features!
 |
| The new bench! |
Under the bench, we found this stone:
 |
| "The Lord is my rock" -- on a rock! |
And on the right, there is a wooden box with very special things tucked inside!
 |
| A box full of Bible verses! |
Let's take a closer look!
 |
| "It reads, 'Your Word is a light for my path'. And this is on the path. I like this!" "There are things inside, too!" |
Look at what's inside!
 |
| Inside the box! |
There are pretty stones, with Bible verses on them. Whoever put the bench there invites you to sit and read them - how serene is that? And in the jar, there are cards with more Scripture on them that you can take with you! It's really very peaceful - and such a kind offering! Mom's favorite of the rocks bears 1 Peter 5:7 - "Cast your cares upon the Lord, for He cares about you."
It's really lovely. We hope it brings joy and peace to those who stop. It sure leaves us feeling serene!
Cammie!
