Cades Cove bears!

OK....on the right behind the trailer there is very tall grass...and we were sitting in traffic because of bears ahead of us. There was a car right behind us. Then we were all trying to find the bears that all the people in front of us are looking for. Then the guy two cars behinds says "Uhhh guys!" and points to the side of us. Everyone turns around and ten feet beside the trailer full of helpless children ......There is this HUGE male bear! well dad kinda freaks out and says" maybe you guys should get in the car" (brilliant man BTW cause we were just sitting there) so the bear comes out of the tall grass and starts sticking his head up in the air sniffing.....then dad looks at Abby who had just jump in the car for her life....and see's her Funyuns bag that she had left laying, hoping the bear wasn't sniffing for a snack. Fortunately the bear ran across the road and believe it or not
NO ONE GOT A PICTURE!!!
yeah ......I know it doesn't look safe.......but every one does it! ....and now we're in with the crowd!

you can't see the seven bears that are in the tree!! ........but their there!!!

I have more pictures to come from Cades cove!

there were SEVEN BEARS IN THIS TREE!!!

Faith:

I very recently read....Hebrews chapter 11 verses 1-8 the first verse says "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Hebrews chapter 12 1-2, verse one says " Therefore since we are surrounded by things so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us."

Isaiah chapter 7 verse 9 and in that verse it says " if you are not firm in faith, you will not be firm at all."

I also read Romans chapter 1 verse 17 at the end of that verse it says "the righteous shall live by faith."

Ephesians chapter 6 verse 16 which says " in all circumstances take up the shield of faith" what I like about that is that it says "in all circumstances" Big and small you should "n (ALL) circumstances take up the shield of faith."

2 Timothy chapter 3 verses 15-17.

I hope everyone has a good week!

May God bless and speak to you through his holy word!
