He Gives Life To Those Who Walk In It

Yesterday, Tim, Matthew and I went hiking for the first time at Elk Island National Park.


There are ten trails to choose from. We took the Wood Bison trail which is 16 kilometers long. The estimated time was four to five hours. We walked very briskly, so did it in three.


It was a beautiful warm fall day! Within minutes we all shed our outer garments with Matthew and I taking turns carrying them, while Tim took pictures with my camera.


This park is located 35 kilometers east of Edmonton along the Yellowhead Highway.


It is fully enclosed with an area of 194 square kilometers.


A variety of wildlife can be spotted such as the plains bison above, wood bison, elk, moose, white-tailed deer, mule deer, coyotes and beavers.


With every walk in nature, we perceive the hand of God.


He gives life to all those who walk in it.

"This is what God the Lord says---
the Creator of the heavens,
who stretches them out,
who spreads out the earth
with all that springs from it,
who gives breath to its people,
and life to those who walk in it."
Isaiah 42:5 (NIV)
