It began with a song. A song that has one simple message and one main purpose…encouragement. The need to be encouraged will at some time be experienced by 100% of us. Less than ideal circumstances and unexpected changes in our daily lives is universal. But there is also a profound truth that is universal and unchanging…everyday living, Jesus understands.

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭(ESV‬)

Last week, Butch and I had an opportunity for a little getaway to one of our favorite places that we discovered in 2017! This trip made number 5 for us at The Swag, known for their stunning views, romantic vistas, and impeccable charm. Situated at five thousand feet, this Relais & Chateaux, all inclusive, mountain hideaway is truly a breath of fresh air! Join us as we roam outdoors on this magical 250 acre property, steps away from The Great Smoky Mountains National Park and miles of trails! READ MORE
