Father/Son Weekend

Nathan’s birthday recently gave us opportunity to host a father/son camp-out at Watts Bar Lake. Our boys have always enjoyed their father/son retreats with Dad and other participating families. No matter what the activities may include: rafting, camping, repelling, hunting… the time to get away for fellowship and Bible study has been time well spent!

These weekends remind us how fast our boys are growing up! One day when they’re long gone, we may wish we had prepared more for quality times together…

Let’s all choose our priorities carefully, and put our family relationships near the top of that list!
