Day 7 – The LORD’s Day

“And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made.” (Genesis 2:3) With this in mind we have determined and set aside every Sunday to be dedicated and set apart to the LORD. Both to hear His Word preached in church and to admire His creation when He gives us opportunity.

Sunday morning came and the beauty of the LORD’s day was amazing! Sun shining and birds singing. We had decided to go to church in Trenton, GA and would leave at 9:30. We left and the clock said 9:30. That truly is amazing. We zoomed down the hill to town and found First Baptist Church and saw that church did not start for another 45 minutes. We decided to save time after church and took a run to Wal-Mart. The list was divied-up among the four adults and were back to church with 15 minutes to spare before church started. The service started with two adults being baptized! Praise the LORD!! The songs were uplifting and brought us all into the mood for the preaching service. Pastor Todd Gaddis spoke from Psalm 100.

“Shout for joy to the LOD, all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the LORD is God.
It is He who made us, and we are His;
We are His people, the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with Thanksgiving
And His courts with praise;
Give thanks to Him and praise His name.
For the LORD is good and His love endures forever;
His faithfulness continues through all generations.”

We were encouraged to KNOW, APPROACH, WORSHIP, and TRUST God. This was a great reminder. God is worthy of our praise and worship and this is only done through a personal relationship with Him.
After church we ate at a wonderful Chinese buffet and went home for a wonderful afternoon nap! Our naps were cut short to hear the noise of children crying. We had put them in the tent to sleep and I was in the RV sleeping and Abigail was at the bathhouse. A storm has brewed up very quickly and it was raining very hard. We brought them inside as quickly as we could and we all finished our naps. Now this may sound like another paradox but it was nice to see the rain beating down on our clean cloths on the line, but the people in this area are in such need of rain that it was nice to see!!


Saturday morning when I walked to the canyons edge to look at the valley with Joshua, there were 4 bikers from the area who were resting from their ride up the mountain. We talked for a while and in our conversation they asked if we were going to go or if we had already gone to Rock City. They said that it was a must see and that we would not regret going. They did not tell us much about it and I know now that words cannot adequately explain what this place is like, so here are some pictures of what we saw!
