Oaks of Righteousness

Woman's Retreat theme Oaks of Righteousness
To all who morn in Zion he will give
Beauty for ashes
Joy instead of morning
Praise instead of heaviness
For God has planted them like strong and graceful oaks for His own glory.
Isaiah 61:3 LB

This was a wonderful time with twenty three extradinary mature women in years and their relationship with the Lord.We sang and praised and cried and laughed think we covered every emotion women have,it was such a blessing.

We had small group time with the women we were rooming with,our condo was beautiful and so peaceful.We sat on the balcony which overlooks a golf course,the weather was beautiful.What a week-end we even had church on sun. morn with a gorgeous view of Gods creation.
Each one of us got to give testimony to our thankfulness for what God has and is doing in our lives . Isaiah 61:10 Let me tell you how happy God has made me.For He has clothed me with garments of salvation and draped about me the robe of righteousness.I am like a bridegroom in his wedding suit or a bride with her jewels.

His plan for us has and is for our good and everlasting joy in Him .For He is good .... all the time.

This was a small retreat in numbers but so large in thanksgiving and praise to our Lord. I am so grateful to live where I can freely worship and serve our Lord, how about you ? Do you need a retreat ? Take some time this is the season of thanksgiving. What are you thankful for ? Share your thankfulness with your family or someone who is part of your life. HUGS
