Ouray Reflections

Wow! I can't believe our time in Ouray is over (and I am officially back online). We had a great time together as a family, and I enjoyed the quietness while I "disconnected" from the world of technology. One of the passages I meditated on during this time was Psalms 36:5-8.

5 Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
your judgments are like the great deep;
man and beast you save, O LORD.
7 How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8 They feast on the abundance of your house,
and you give them drink from the river of your delights.

God used the truth found in this passage to remind me of His steadfast love and how He is our refuge...nothing or no one else can do this. Even though I "knew" this, it doesn't hurt to have a friendly reminder!

On our long journey to Carlsbad, NM today, we shared about the highlights of our time in Ouray.

David: The different hikes and seeing the waterfalls

Debi: Enjoying time together as a family (whether cooking a meal, going on a hike, or riding in the gondola at Telluride)

Ben: The hike he went on with his dad around the perimeter of the city

Jonathan: The train ride from Durango to Silverton; a close second was learning to play pool in the campground laundromat.

I am sure that there are many others; I only let them pick one!
