We Didn't Know It Was Closed....Neither Did They....

Good Morning girls...yesterday my sweetie and I went to this museum very near our home..."The Hermitage" is an incredible place ...it sits on the water ...it was built by the Sloan family back in the late 1900's...I hadn't been since we moved back to Virginia...yesterday seemed like the perfect day to visit...

I had almost forgotten the amazing grounds...the detail of craftsmanship...built with impeccable care and ... CREATIVITY...as we approached the front entrance we realized the INSIDE tours were closed ...sadly we looked at each other...now what...my sweetie said we can still walk the Gardens...which is exactly what we did....

Have you ever experienced a "Devinne Appointment" you didn't even know you had....well yesterday as we meandered the outside of the house we "Bumped" into such a moment...Straight from the Heavens...

As we followed the brick path around this bend we came on some beautiful architecture at the back of the house...I started taking pictures....as I clicked away a couple came walking up on us...we smiled at them...they smiled at us...we said hello...so did they...then we each went our separate way...

We continued our outside tour of this wonderful place....the carving in the roof line...the combination of brick and shingles was breathtaking...always my FAVORITE LOOK for a house...big or small

This little "bump out" of a room was PRECIOUS...I loved it...

We kept walking ...taking everything in..enjoying the views...the water...the PEACE that surrounded us...it was so nice to be together...we came around a corner to find the couple we had said hello to earlier sitting on a bench...my hubby said hello again ...left my side to begin a closer conversation...I kept taking pictures ...then joined them ...simple enough ....just being friendly...but somewhere in that moment ....without a sound the Holy Spirit fell on All of us...before we knew it we were sharing that "HEAVENLY APPOINTMENT" I mentioned ....the Lord had a purpose in our meeting...sharing..and encouraging one another...I was blessed from head to toe...I was humbled by the prophetic insights they so graciously shared....I found myself opening a door to my heart to these two...strangers in the worlds eyes...family in God's kingdom...I was encouraged...affirmed...and reminded how PASSIONATE our heavenly father is about us....the Sweet Fragrance of that love was present yesterday....in an unexpected way...on a spontaneous day of fellowship...not one of us had planned....

I just want to remind you lovely ladies today....where ever you are in your journey...however your spending your time TODAY...

You are LUXURIOUSLY LOVED...watched over....cared about...and TREASURED...

The window of your soul is exactly that....our Heavenly Father ....SEE'S CLEARLY...your need...the secret longings of your soul...you are precious in his sight....I think your pretty swell as well.......I pray you all have a BRILLIANT day....till next time..blessings and hugs.....Karena

 P.S. If your reading this you sweet faces....bless you today too....(You know who you are)....
