"Thank You, Father, for the beauty of Emerald Hills. This fall has been so beautiful — the colors of the leaves, the leaves along the paths, so much loveliness in one place. Never was Emerald Hills more beautiful in the fall than for Scott and Sam's wedding where the autumn leaves had fallen to make a carpet down which the bride could trod. Your creative nature shines there. Thank You again, Father, for giving us such a beautiful place to pray, retreat, and learn. In the Name of our beautiful Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen."
