So we took to the roads, Edith and I, her 2 friends from New Jersey, Simantov and Linda, and various and a sundry other people that just happened to meet with up with us...Edith loves driving in Israel:)
Here's a pic of the Sea of Galilee...there's something so very beautiful and peaceful about looking at the Sea after being in the hustle/bustle and tension of Jerusalem...
Simantov and Linda invited 4 of us to sleep in their nice apartment in Tiberius...its the top one on the left..5 flights up, no elevator:) From their kitchen window, you can see the sun rising over the Sea of Galilee. Yup, I saw it, we were up early the next morning....
Here's Simantov and Linda next to the Sea of Galilee...
Here we are up on Mount Bental, looking at the Syrian Border...we did hear a few loud booms in the distance. Times or prayer, worship, blowing shofars, etc, etc...
Linda from New Jersey brought several awesome silk flags for our prayer time up on the border....
Simantov and Roger are holding the Israeli flag as we pray for her protection...
You can get just about anywhere from here...
EDITH in a BUNKER - on Mt. Bental. We laughed about Edith Bunker:)
From there we went to Rosh Pina (it means Cornerstone)..a beautiful village in the hills about the Sea of Galilee. One of the first settlements in Israel, today it is where many visitors come to get away in a quiet place. There was an awesome revival and move of God there in Rosh Pina between 1975-1979. Near the old historic city of Rosh Pina, there is this long staircase that takes you down from the Old City to the Rosh Pina stream...usually a wadi - a dry river bed, but it can turn into a rushing river during the rainy season. The first pic is looking up the long staircase, the 2nd pic is looking down...kinda reminds you of Jacobs ladder, or staircase to heaven, right??
I just had to stick my feet in the cool refreshing waters of the Rosh Pina stream...
Edith found a bridal bouquet..I must be her bridesmaid....
From there we went over the Mediterranean sea to visit new friends...the sun had just gone down...oh sooo beautiful there...
Jane and Michael Nasrallah live right next to the sea in Nahariya...it is the last city up north on the coast before you get to Lebanon. They have a beautiful home, to which they welcome believers who need a place to rest, to soak, to receive. They served us a nice dinner and had encouraging words for us all.
Headed back to Jerusalem....help!! Edith is going 108 mph!!
oh, never mind - its kilometers, whew...that was close :-b It's always an adventure with my dear friend Edith:)
