Hiking to Strawberry Lake reminded me of Ecclesiastes 4:9: “Two are better than one.” Life is sweeter, lighter, and richer when shared. Whether through marriage, friendship, or community, God’s design is companionship. Even small moments—like picking huckleberries—become grace-filled memories when lived together.

God’s provision often comes in unexpected ways—a quail on our bed, a trout at our feet, a raven in a coop. Each encounter whispered the same truth: “I see you. I will provide.” In weakness and uncertainty, His peace reminded us that He is always enough.
