During my “sister trip” we had the wonderful and beautiful experience of traveling through the Columbia River Gorge. It was fabulous. I was shocked to see the road sign marking an exit for Multnomah Falls.
I had recently read the book “The Shack” and remembered how this location played into the story. The falls were incredibly breathtaking. The time we spent there was very therapeutic for me.
God, again, had a sound track playing in my mind, a song I had been especially drawn to. Travelers Song by the band Future of Forestry, which has a dream like, lucid quality. The lyrics urged me to stay and have a drink of time and take with me what lasts forever. Drinking in the unbelievable beauty of God’s creation in the company of my sisters, in the presence of God . . . how wonderful was that! Every time I hear this song, it brings me back to that place and the sights and travels of that day and that wonderful week of my life. We stopped at 3 or 4 smaller falls along this same historic highway.
We drove all the way up to Crown Point and toured the Vista House as well. We stopped in this really cute gift shop and had a wonderful lunch together. What a great day. Good, good medicine.
