Kandersteg, Switzerland

Today I was able to go to a place that I have been wanting to go to since moving here to Switzerland, namely, Kandersteg and Lake Oeschinensee.  After about a 50 minute drive from our house I arrived in Kandersteg and went up the lift to trails leading me to Lake Oeschinensee.

My family and I are very grateful to experience this adventure in Switzerland and have seen some beautiful places.  But this is near the top of my list.  The combination of the majestic peaks of the Alps and the silent serene landscape of the snow and trees made this visit very spiritual.  For it took me out of myself and invited me into the paradox of the sheer beauty in the power of God’s creation.

(I took a lot of “selfies” to prove to people and myself that I was indeed here looking at this!!!)

Taking a last look on my way down, Kandersteg, CH

Whose hand holds the depths of the earth;

who owns the tops of the mountains.

The sea and dry land belong to God,

who made them, formed them by hand.

-Ps 95:4-5
