Open For Your Personal Retreat

The Quiet Rest Lodge is OPEN! Drop by often for a personal retreat. We will try to update the site regularly and give you "strength for the journey" and "refreshment for weary pilgrims."

Rest in His everlasting arms today.

The Road to the Lodge

Just like this country road, I've been meandering through the fall landscape, sorry that the summer is over but enjoying the fall foliage. Each day is shorter that the preceding one. Christmas is just around the corner. What a thought! After that we're into a brand new year and new opportunities to see God at work.

So, friends, let's make sure we redeem the time and enjoy every moment the Lord has graciously given us.

"Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." - Ephesians 5:15-20 (NIV)

Autumn Splendor at the Lodge

Crispy fallen leaves blanket the forest floor
Sun beams catch the rising mist
making it suddenly visible
Cooler air filters through the wooded bush
Squirrels scurry to bury their new-found treasures
Summer is over and we can't call it back
Autumn has arrived.
If only we could freeze it before the
Real deep freeze arrives.
Fall beauty is unsurpassed
Seasons change
God doesn't
He is immutable
And I'm thankful
For that!

Stillness

The stillness this morning was breathtaking! Not a sound! One lone loon cracking the silence! It's good to be open again. Visit often!

There's a cedar box at the end of the driveway. As you enter our property, drop your cares and concerns in the box and continue in to the lodge. The coffee will be on and the welcome mat is always out.

See you soon!

The Blog Inn - Re-opens With A New Name

Friends of Pilgrim Scribblings from our earlier days will remember The Blog Inn. We closed up the inn last June and have just re-opened it under a new name, Quiet Rest Lodge.

It is operating under the same management as before and will be available 24 hours a day. Our prayer is that Quiet Rest Lodge will be a haven and a refuge for those who are weary and tired.

Visit often! Relax! Enjoy the tranquil setting! Get re-acquainted with God! Learn to rest in Him. Welcome!

David
