Getaway

Thanks to great friends that are coming to stay with our kids, tomorrow morning, Randy and I will throw some clothes in a suitcase, grab our sand chairs, and head for a little dive in downtown Rehoboth.

We have no agenda for the weekend. We might take a bike ride, go to the movies, play miniature golf, or even drive over to Ocean City one evening.

A couple things are for sure though. At some point over the weekend, we’ll take a walk on the boardwalk and laugh together about the little store we’ve often joked about opening there. We’ll take long walks on the beach, we’ll laugh and cry, we’ll talk about how we can turn the challenges in our lives into opportunities, and we’ll dream about the future together.

For us, there is just something about a getaway to Rehoboth that reenergizes, refocuses, and refreshes our hearts and spirits.

The Bible talks another getaway. Psalms 27, in The Message translation, calls it the “perfect getaway.” It says it’s the only quiet, secure place in this noisy world; it’s far from the buzz of traffic. This amazing getaway? Studying at His feet; contemplating His beauty!
