Katelyn and I have been plagued with illness this past month. Two Sundays ago my parents invited us to join them at Ardiri Winery where they are members. I asked Gary to stay home with Katelyn so I could have a little time to relax. It was absolutely gorgeous at the winery. Fall is my favorite time of year with all the colors and crisp mornings. It was a warm afternoon and the sun was shining. I sat outside with the sun on my back sipping a glass of pinot that I shared with Mom. Prior to being outside we were able to taste 5 different wines. I often forget to stop and enjoy God’s beautiful creation. That afternoon was a much needed break to bask in His perfection.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.
Psalm 23:2
I’ll admit, I was pretty tired and not myself but the time with my parents was just what I needed. Even just sitting by myself in the back seat enjoying the view of the countryside put joy back in my heart.
The grapes looked so good I was tempted to eat one off the vine! Thank you to my parents for sharing their afternoon with me at a place they enjoy immensely. I hope to receive an invitation to join them again soon.
Delighting in Him.
