A New Adventure Begins!

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6

Today is our first day to try out the trailer. We have a reservation at Tugaloo State Park in northeast Georgia near Lake Hartwell. It’s unseasonably hot… still in the mid-90s, but perfect lake camping weather, so we are excited!

First things, first. Before we even left home, we made lunch in our trailer, which was still parked inside the shop! We dined on two delicious sub sandwiches with chips, while we surveyed our new “domain.” It looked like everything was ready for our departure. The fridge was filled with yummy foods that would definitely last us for a few days; the cabinets had neatly stacked containers with everything from clothing to dishes to dry goods, and the little things that made it special for us were in place.

Reminds me of another trip I will soon be taking. I’m not sure exactly when that will happen, but I am definitely getting prepared for it now. It’s going to be so exciting that I am telling everyone about it! Many of my family and friends have already gone there ahead of me, and I know they’re waiting for me to join them, and I can hardly wait!

I won’t have to pack anything for this trip because everything is going to be provided for me when I get there! I am going to have a new wardrobe… garments of white and even a couple of crowns!!! As for food, there will be a huge banquet where everyone will be gathered together, and we will feast for seven years!!!

I won’t have to take my trailer to this place because I’m going by air! I’ll have a personal escort, and the actual journey will be quick… so quick it will seem like the twinkling of an eye! The best part of this trip is that it won’t cost me anything! It was bought and paid for long ago by my Saviour, Jesus. He offered it to me as a gift when I asked Him to forgive my sins, and now I will finally get to thank Him face-to-face! I’m sure you’ve figured out where I’m going. I hope I see you there!

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

When we all get to heaven
What a day of rejoicing that will be,
When we all see Jesus
We’ll sing and shout the victory!

(from “When We All Get to Heaven” by Eliza Hewitt)

“There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.” Hebrews 4:9
