I pray that message of Jesus has brought a lot of people to their knees. Thanks so much, Carol. It was an enjoyable trip. :-)Robyn Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356555082768185840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-28959136964702071232015-10-01T23:12:04.404+10:002015-10-01T23:12:04.404+10:00Thanks ladies for the comments.

It was a great reminder that when God resides in a life there is hope and joy even in the midst of sadness and loss.

I felt the same dissonance as you - how could an abandoned ruin belong to Jesus but then he brings new life out of the ruins, belonging and family out of abandonment. Perhaps he is still working on this one :)Jeanette O'Haganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11057798704247611224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-42983731340048116932015-10-01T17:22:29.646+10:002015-10-01T17:22:29.646+10:00Hi Carol - Thanks for a thought-provoking post. I...Hi Carol - Thanks for a thought-provoking post. It is interesting to ponder the stories of those abandoned houses and towns. 'If the walls could speak.' Maybe that message on the wall has prompted lots of people to think about God.<br /><br />We visited Silverton on a family holiday more than 30 years ago. It wasn't too long after the mini-series of 'A Town Like Alice' starring Bryan Brown, so we were able to spot the landmarks from that, along with Mad Max. Interesting place, but harsh terrain. Great spot for inspiration though. Thanks for sharing.Nola Passmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425394685430146759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-50821541502810751582015-10-01T15:50:41.153+10:002015-10-01T15:50:41.153+10:00Thanks, Carol--an intriguing and thought-provoking...Thanks, Carol--an intriguing and thought-provoking read. I'm sure those old ruins would have given you many ideas for more books--and I can see that, wherever you look, a story seems to emerge for you, which is wonderful.

So true that one thing remains - His love - and His Presence. And life is never the same.
