Mt. Rainer – kind of
While visiting my two youngest children in Washington state, we decided to go to Sunrise Point in Mt. Rainer National Park. After two hours drive we came to the famous viewpoint. Well, not exactly. You can never tell what is going to happen on a mountain 14,000 feet high. So I thought you would enjoy the view (on the sign, of course).
So typical of this area and geography.
(I, too, am in Washington presently…visiting children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren…all of us ‘wrestling’ with who we are; particularly related to the trauma of the death of my first wife in 2011, and my decisions to leave WA, and ultimately to re-marry and move back to Florida over these subsequent years.)
TW has been most helpful in this journey and our families’ processing of the events and choices that have affected all our lives. Please pray for us…for individual and corporate wholeness as a family of those who are ‘wrestling’ – even as I am for you, my brother.
Been to Rainer 3 times. Your picture was the 3 times. I had a better view as I was leaving Seattle.
We are also in Washington just a short hop skip and a jump , wholeness, events, journey, trauma , this is our path and we are finding hope and comfort along the way, Hold the line and keep the faith!
This reminds me of our one day visit to Rio. We had spectacular views of the harbour, marina, beach and Sugar Loaf Mountain coming into the port early in the morning, but by the time we got up to the base of Christ the Redeemer, it was foggy and pouring rain so badly we could barely see His arms let alone the magnificent view far below. I also took a photo of the panoramic photo and sent it to my friends, (but full framed it so they didn’t know our disappointment).
