AT 127 - 2nd August [413.7]

 

Hexacuba Shelter

Very cold last night but snuggled in well. Lovely day hike up Smarts mountain. Fire tower on top with great views towards the Whites. Short day purely because we have a big one coming on Friday (Moosilauk) and we can’t get there in one day. We saw Mount Washington in the distance but we have a few to get over first:-

Moosilauk 

Wolf

South Kinsman

North Kinsman

Lincoln

Lafayette 

Garfield 

Galehead

South Twin

Zealand

Webster 

Jackson

Pierce

Then Washington!!!(6278)

Most look pretty tough. I’m so looking forward to them, I nearly cried. 

Thought for the day 

Hebrews 12:12-13

Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.

As I wake each day I certainly have to lift myself up and stretch out the weak knees and plan the paths. I can’t make them straight or level but I walk carefully so no join is put out. 

What about spiritually?

Do we sometimes let our hands of praise droop?

Do we sometimes have weak knees to prevent us walking His way?

Do we sometimes leave the straight and narrow way and slip onto the broad way?

Let’s wake tomorrow and do Hebrews 12. 

Mt. Washington in the distance.
