One of my favorite places on Earth is on the farm. ๐ย Usually during fairs and festivals, you can find me fighting my way through the crowd of children to get to the petting zoo so I can cuddle the baby goats (and there are usually tears of joy involved!)ย ๐ฅฒย Iโve been spit on my alpacas, tried to save injured birds on my back porch, and had to chase down some furry friends that were on the loose… but I wouldnโt change that for anything, because caring for some of Godโs gentlest and kindest creatures FILLS my heart with joy. It is one of places where I feel the most โin my element.โ
Scripture talks about seeing God in nature. Romans 1:20 says this:
Whether it be seeing an animal caring forย itโsย young, watching a baby bird break through his egg, observing an ant carry a piece of food 5,000 timesย itโsย size, or even noticing a flower that broke through the snow, Godโs glory is clear and evident in His creation, and itโs so … so beautiful.
Nature is a GIFT! I believe itโs of the sweetest and most stunning gifts the Lord has bestowed upon us. What part of the natural world can YOU most clearly see Elohimโs eternal power and divine nature in?ย

Stayed here while we were visiting my in-laws at The Pines Living Facility. Exactly what we needed for lodging -- inexpensive compared to most motels without any loss of accommodations, and very Christ-centered environment. Plus they serve a great... breakfast every morning. No TV in the room, but that was not an issue for us, since there is nothing worth watching anyway. Staff were extremely friendly and did their jobs well. This place is a gem and a blessing to all who walk on their beautiful property.read more

This place holds a special place in my life journey. I was Baptised there as I RE-DEDICATED myself. It was Febuary at night, so my review may not give it the right justice. What I can say, there were a ton of relaxing, peaceful locations to... re-connect with JESUS. Obviously, there was a pool, several lake's with benches. Gathering locations to celebrate, and break bread. A very wholesome Resort.read more

Beautiful place to separate yourself for the Lord. Soo peaceful no technology which I love. Just you nature and God. I was there for a women's retreat.

A wonderful Christ- and family-oriented place! Beautiful grounds and welcoming staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the conference we attended as well as the community hymn-sing. Highly recommend.
