How good and pleasant it is
when God’s people live together in unity!
(Psalm 133:1 NIV)
I am still unpacking from the weekend, not my suitcase, but the gifts of love and encouragement that were shared between sisters and brothers, who grasp God and want others to experience His love in rich and deep and wide reaching ways.
I want to tell you all about it. How wonderful the retreat center was that offered us the best. The hospitality of the Jumping Tandem retreat coordinators and dreamers and courage speakers, who dreamed for and with us. Each one graciously demonstrating dependence on the biggest Dreamer of all.
How the love of Christ flowed over us moment by moment with each encounter . . . in the worship sessions, in the workshops, in the wandering around the wide open spaces surrounding the conference center.
But most of all love poured out through the intimate conversations around the table, in the foyer, with my roommate (my sister, Gillian) and fellow travelling companions (Kelly and Lynni) and the other dreamers in Christ, who have similiar, yet different stories that point to the redeeming love and safe haven, we each find in knowing God and loving God.
I leave you with a poem, as it still is National Poetry Month. And some photo highlights of the weekend.
