We had a small group of girls (and our wonderful sleigh driver, Mr. Gordon) on Friday night when we set off in a two horse open sleigh. The weather was beautiful as we traveled through the field where we saw a herd of deer. When we got into the woods, we watched the sun set through the trees.
Mrs. Gordon had gone ahead of us and prepared a crackling, toasty campfire - where we cooked hot dogs and s'mores. We shared stories, and some of the girls got a closer look (and were quite smitten) with the horses. As the sun continued to go down, we gathered closer and closer to the warm fire until we climbed back up in the sleigh and headed back to the house.
The air was crisp and the sky was clear. We were all amazed at the wonder of God's creation as we gazed up into the sky and identified the pictures that God had painted there.
"LORD, our Lord, how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth! You have covered the heavens with Your majesty...When I observe Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You set in place." Psalm 8:1 & 3
"God thunders with His voice wondrously, doing great things which we cannot comprehend. For to the snow He says, 'Fall on the earth'..." Job 37:5-6a
--- After the sleigh ride, we went to the varsity girls basketball, where we cheered them on as they finished their season with a perfect 18-0 record. ---
