Day 365 + 13: Welcome familiarity at 'Pilgrim's Rest'

“This hill though high I covent ascend;
The difficulty will not me offend;
For I perceive the way of life lies here.
Come, pluck up, heart; let's neither faint nor fear. ” 
― John Bunyan, The Pilgrim's Progress


Project 365: #365 + 13

When we delivered Caitlin to college, we were hosted graciously at 'Pilgrim's Rest' by Mike's very kind cousins, Sandy and John, in their beautiful home! We had been stressed about sending her to the other side of the US, but found familiar comfort here, and somehow felt that everything is going to be okay. There was so much familiarity to what we knew from SA, starting with their beautiful garden! They too have been through similar changes as us, in the decision to make a new life for themselves with all that it takes. Their wisdom gave us hope in the faith that things will work out, and we will overcome the difficult barriers without fear! Pilgrim's Rest is also close to my heart, as it is where my mother was christened. It is amazing how things work out!
