Sometimes it's good to get a change of scenery as we recently did with our vacation to the Flagstaff, and Sedona, Arizona areas. Surrounded by mountains and scenic views in every direction it was a refreshing break from daily tasks, John's work and sheep chores.
The red rocks of Sedona were the highlight but we found enchanting views farther south where small towns sport striking skylines of the Mingus Mountains. We saw the town of Jerome, located several miles up a steep mountain where folks have historic buildings that once were alive with copper mining excitement. There are now shops and restaurants that call people to drive for their unique entertainment on the mountain side. Flagstaff showed us forest-lined mountains with the curving roads that wound around them.
We saw contrasts of homes from the very modest to the extravagant. We watched people from all over the world snapping pictures at every angle and bus loads of tourists from Japan purchasing memorabilia of their U.S. travels. We were blessed by the kindness of others. We made new friends we will always cherish, and we visited a great church, alive with the power of God.
As breathtaking as the vacation views were, it will be good to get home where all will be new again. Wishing you a day blessed by a change of view.
"I will sing the Lord's praise, for He has been good to me" (Psalm 13:6 NIV).
