Families in the Family of God



My family has recently returned from our annual trip to Oklahoma Family Camp Meeting. Five fun-filled, Spirit-filled, friend-filled days spent with each other - it has become our favorite holiday and best vacation tradition. We attend every year, and I must say - wow! what a blessing, it gets better each year.

Put on by Restoration International and hosted by our friends Mike and Connie, Family Camp is one of the reasons my husband and I are still going strong and our children love the Lord. There are inspiring, timely, helpful messages interspersed with lots of great music, yummy food, wonderful friends, and uplifting conversation. Plus, plenty of time in the beautiful outdoors - canoeing, hiking, horseback riding, and playing family freeze tag. 

You should attend. Your spouse, your children, your soul will thank you. And it doesn't matter your age, your marital status, or whether you have children in the home, out of the home, even no children - Family Camp is for you. If you belong to God, you belong at Family Camp.

I've included some pictures, just a taste. Enjoy. And come with us next year. 

My daughter's decorations were a great hit.

We are always one of the first families to register (and the last to leave). Don't want to miss a moment.

While the children and I set up camp...

Hubby took care of some last minute "transportation issues".

There was plenty of time to spend in God's beautiful creation.

On Sabbath afternoon, there was free popcorn and watermelon (from south Texas - in April - yum!). This year I was in charge of making the popcorn - 400 bags! - it was a wonderful opportunity to get to know the family that helped us.

Family Camp is by far the best way to make new lifetime friends - who also love the Lord.

There are Camps all across the United States, plus other countries, too. 
Come go with us, you'll never regret it,

P.S. What's a woman to do with seven hours of car trip on the way to and from Family Camp? Knit of course! Check out the new items in my Etsy Shop. Here's a taste:
