This Side of Paradise







HIS SIDE OF PARADISE

In mid October my husband and I ate lunch at one of the prettiest places I have ever been. We were at Eibensee near the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Eibensee is a crystal clear alpine lake nestled at the foot of snow covered peaks. Everything about this day was perfect from the clear blue sky to the gradually warming late morning. The autumn sun heating the stone patio left us feeling like two languid cold blooded creatures stretched out and envigorated by the sunshine. We toyed with the idea of just staying here—indefinitely. The food was good, the service friendly, and the ambiance terrific.

When I am in a beautiful place I often remember the verse , “Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor man imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.” I had my idea of paradise laid out before my eyes and yet it says there is more than we can imagine. Awesome thought.
