What a day! Our last full day in Gatlinburg has been one that we'll never forget.
We started off our day in Cade's Cove, taking a hay ride around the wilderness loop. On our 2-hour trek across the cove, we saw five bears, two deer, and several turkey!! Interesting to say the least, especially when three of the bears climbed the tree right above the trailer!!
More importantly than that though, we spent quality time in the Word talking about and learning about Heaven. 1 Peter 1:3-9 talks about our spiritual inheritance as believers... our salvation, Christ, that will be revealed in the last days. We learned that the hope of Christ is what should drive us every day, in our decisions, in our actions, and in our avoidance of sin. Lots of good questions were asked and a good discussion was had. We ended with a challenge from Ephesians 4-5 that encouraged us to take every opportunity we have to live and share the gospel, so that this Heaven we discussed can be a reality for more and more people.
A special thanks goes out to Tyler Johnson, who spent his whole trip helping with anything at all that needed to be done. Tyler, I don't know what we'd do without you! (I have to type this, he's sitting next to me right now :) ).
We head back in the morning! Please pray for us as we return home and get ready to put into practice what we've learned this weekend!
