One of the things I’ve noticed about my connection to Lakeside is how every time I leave the grounds, after a week or a few days stay, I begin to think about when I will return. This says something about the relationship we have with this special place.
Lakeside is more than a vacation spot and more than a place to get away or relax. Our beloved retreat by the lake connects to us in a deeper way, and like any relationship that is life-giving, we long for the time we will be together again.
As I write this, we are at the beginning of the season of Advent. The traditions, images, sounds and tastes of this season are familiar, and at the surface level we can all say, “Been there and done that.”
