A Little Perspective Let me teach you. When you are tense, let me teach you to relax. When you are short tempered, let me teach you to be patient. When you are short sighted, let me teach you to see. When you are quick to react, let me teach you to be thoughtful. When you are angry, let me teach you to be respectful. When you are self absorbed, let me teach you to think of greater things. When you are arrogant, let me teach you humility. When you are lonely, let me be your companion. When you are tired, let me carry the load. When you need to learn, let me teach you... after all... I am your horse and that’s how God can use me. Author: W. Lamm |
GREAT ADVENTURE FELLOWSHIP
| SCEM Spring Meeting Lakeview Plantation It was an exciting weekend as we enjoyed seeing old friends and making new ones. With 29 plus riders we enjoyed the well marked trails, great singing by the Cedar Creek Band and Julian Brown, and a fantastic Mexican supper on Saturday night. A big thank you to both Cedar Creek and Julian Brown for traveling to minister to us in song and for using their gift for Gods Glory, may God richly bless you. The Mexican supper could not have been any better and I certainly heard no complaints. We were also able to provide breakfast Sunday morning for the Cedar Creek band and a thank you to Robert Christmas and Johnny Stokes for preparing that. Larry Johnson gave the message on Sunday morning and we thank him for listening to the Lord and being willing to use his gift of teaching to deliver the message God would have us to hear. If you have never been to Lakeview Plantation it is a great place to ride and you need to take your family, I am sure Heyward and Donna would love to have you. Happy Trails, Terri Stokes Psalm 135:1,2 Praise the LORD,, Praise the name of the LORD; praise him, you servants of the LORD, you who minister in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God. |

| Hard Labor Creek, Ga March 2012 Wednesday, March 28th God gave us a beautiful day to begin our trip to Hard Labor Creek for a few days of friends, horses and fun. Kathy and I started early and ask God for a safe trip. First stop for gas someone backed into Kathy’s motor home but thankfully almost no damage – on the road again near Augusta, GA Kathy had a flat tire, she called AARP (is she that old :-) and after a couple hours we were on our way again. Finally arrived at Hard Labor Creek and guess who didn’t have reservations? Kathy’s reservations were for February 28 not March 28! But thanks to a wonderful ranger we got everything settled and headed out to set up camp. Whew! God knew about all these delays and we know He had a reason for allowing this - His ways are always the best way and He did get us there safe and sound, so we had to thank God for safety in all this! Thank you Jesus! Larry, Margie and Paul had already arrived and went out for a ride while we set up camp. After supper Melodee arrived and we all turned in looking forward to a good week together. Early the next morning we hit the trails and were rewarded with beautiful dogwood and eastern red bud in full bloom, beautiful white dogwoods and pink red buds everywhere, very pretty. The trails were as exciting as we remembered them and we enjoyed every mile, 14.7 to be exact! Maybe next time we'll work up to the 14.7 trail and start with a shorter one like the 4.4 mile :-). As the week progressed we covered many miles on horseback and shared many meals and laughs together. Such a blessing to be able to spend time together and enjoy Gods world. Before long it was time to head home and get back to the real world. But we will carry the memories of this trip and our friendships with us forever! See you next time on the trails…… and remember don’t trip over any fairies in the woods…… |
