AT 56 - 21st May (675.4)

Swim #12

Swam with crayfish!!! 

 Felt more normal today but the 2000 feet climb was hard. Lovely hotdog and cold drink as trail magic helped. Had swim #12. After swim I spotted crayfish. There was a rattle snake on the trail today. Two guys heading our way (south bound) warned us. Then the two guys ahead of me saw it but I never saw it. Before I left Brenda prayed that I would not even see a snake on the AT. Brenda stop praying, I really want to see snakes!!!! 

Thought for the day

Prayer. 

Prayer is something really special. As I was reading today, David asked that his prayer would be incense. Incense is a sweet smell to the one smelling it. In this case God. Our prayers are more than something we ask for, it is the fact that we pray and commune with God that is important. When we read the revelation passage we see all the saints prayers are sweet incense poured out before the Lamb. Keep praying and filling the throne room with a sweet aroma. 

Psalm 141:2

Let my prayer be counted as incense before you,

and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice!

Revelation 5:8

And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
