Devotional Reflections

Colorado Take 2 & those gorgeous aspen

·by Tamera Alexander

Joe and I made a quick trip to Colorado recently to visit old stomping grounds (we lived there for 17 years). You might ask, didn’t you and your daughter just visit Colorado? Why, yes, we did (see that post here). But Joe didn’t get to go. So…Colorado Take 2.

Only this time, the aspens were putting on a show!

God’s handiwork on display

I love path pics. Do you? They’re my favorite. I think it must be the subtle promise of possibilities.

We met friends Mark and Michelle Young in Breckenridge, which is where the four of us used to go back in the early 1990s for ski weekends. Over 18 years have passed since we moved to Nashville and it was so wonderful to catch up with them. Lots of laughter with some tears in the mix, too, and time focused on God’s compassionate grace and faithfulness in hard times.

The following pic is of the four of us circa early 1990s skiing at Winter Park and us more recently in Breckenridge. Lots of years have passed but I love that our friendship and bond in Christ remains—even if some hair, smooth skin, and agility did not…

Frisco was rainy but lovely.

Gorgeous carts of flowers in Vail.

I told Joe I’d love him to build one of these carts (smaller scale) for our backyard. He remains noncommittal.

Before you go, one of my favorite ways to listen to the Bible these days is an app called Courage-for-Life. Have you heard of it?

“The Courage For Life all-female-voiced audio Bible is a powerful resource that brings comfort, encouragement, inspiration, and hope to those who listen to it.
Embrace your God-given courage for life today, and let the transformative power of Scripture touch your life and lead you toward a deeper relationship with God and others.”

Much love from my corner of Nashville,

Tammy
