I came here this morning needing to leave some things behind, not sure what I would find. This space is beautiful. This place is a gift. I came with my spirit agitated, fearful and worn down, tired from keeping up, tired from taking care of everyone but myself. But as I finish this journey through aspen groves, pine forests and fields of wild flowers, I leave refreshed. I feel renewed and grateful and I take this gratefulness with me to share with others. –Beth A from Bismark, ND
So many have gone before me, but I always feel their presence when I am here—maybe it’s the quiet. –CH
There are so many decisions to make in life. From simple ones to harder ones. I have found that when we take the time to be still, God speaks. You can and will hear that still, small voice. He loves you, He loves me. He has a great plan for our lives. My husband and I came here today to do just that….be still. We needed clarity for a decision we needed to make. And God did what He promises…if we seek, we shall find and if we knock, the door will be open. God gave clarity in the stillness with the beautiful scenery. Be encouraged today, if you need something…be still and listen for God’s voice. He is speaking –Andrea I’m thankful for life!
Thank you for preserving such a peaceful place. It is my favorite place in the Black Hills.
It was just wonderful – very inspirational. Thank you. – Del and Bev K.
