Stake RS Overniter was held at Camp Banksia, Port Sorell at the weekend. Friday night after feeding the multitudes there were games & way too much laughter. The fruit salad game proved to be hilarious as we each were assigned a fruit & you had to swap seats when your fruit was called out and of course a seat would go missing now & then, so sisters were scrambling everywhere & colliding with one another or the floor to get a bottom on a seat. NOT A PRETTY SIGHT, really. To honor those who have & are great examples to us, a candle lighting ceremony was held, before close of the evening & retiring to our cabin.
Saturday it was up with the birds for some with walks along the beach to watch the sun rise. Absolutely beautiful. God has truly blessed us with beautiful scenery here in our wonderful state & the peace that we find in being able to take time out to enjoy this, is heaven.
Following breakfast & devotional we had time to play outdoors or relax. Some chose to play a little tennis or other games, some went on a treasure hunt along the beach where we had to take photos and some clues were cryptic.
After all that fun, more was in store. We had a choice of 2 workshops, Choir or Drama Queens. The choir sounded beautiful, very inspirational song & sound. The drama queens, well I'll say no more, they were really drama queens. I think there's been some practicing going on.
After all the drama & song lunch was served, BBQ & salads & left over birthday cakes & TIM TAMS, then it was time to close the time out, clean up & pack up & head on out to our various destinations.
Photos to follow later, so stay tuned for those.
Where you tend a rose, a thistle cannot grow. It takes good deeds and good words to help us keep disappointments and difficulties from dominating our attitude.
