I saw it heavy rains for one and maybe 2 of the days you were there.

Yes, it rained a little on the first day we were in Plymouth, but on the day we took the tour of Plimoth Plantation it cleared up and was a beautiful day. I don't think I would want to be out there in the rain.

It rained a little in Salem too, but it could have been worse. Most days were very nice and the weather wasn't too terrbily muggy.

I love Plymouth too. I would love to spend time in New England. There is so much to do and see. :)

I would have liked to have had more that two days in Plymouth. It would have been fun exploring the town.

I have to show you the place we stayed there. It is called "By the Sea Bed and Breakfast", and it was right on the water. It couldn't have been in a better location. We could see the Mayflower II from the deck on the front of the house. Aren't the flowers beautiful?

And this was the view of the harbor from the deck....

That's great you visited WVNan and Dutchess! I look forward to your photos!

Yes, getting to spend time with Dolly, Dutchess and WVNan was the highlight of our trip. I just love those ladies so much! :-)

The Same Hand

READ: Exodus 15:22-27

He cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. —Exodus 15:25

The children of Israel had not gone far from the shore of the Red Sea when the realities of their new freedom began to register. They no longer enjoyed the ample food and water supply of Egypt. Now, after traveling 3 days into the wilderness, the large crowd had no water. And when they finally arrived at the oasis of Marah, the water was bitter (Ex. 15:23).

Thus the children of Israel were compelled to rely on a miracle. So they cried out to Moses, and Moses cried out to the Lord. The Lord showed him a tree, which Moses cast into the water. Miraculously, the water turned sweet.

The transformation of the water was a miracle akin to the plague of blood sent to Pharaoh and the Egyptians (Ex. 7:14-25). Egypt’s clean water had been sullied with blood by the hand of the Lord. The lesson of Marah was clear—the same hand that turned water into blood could turn bitter water into sweet. The same power that brought curses on Egypt could bring health to Israel.

If you have a seemingly impossible need today, remember that the hand that supplied your greatest need—forgiveness of sin—is the same hand that can adequately supply all your needs. Trust Him to accomplish things that seem impossible.

When our problems overwhelm us,
God wants us to look to Him;
He provides the right solutions—
Lighting paths that once were dim. —Sper

Impossibilities compel us to rely on God.
