oak grove is a state park near my hometown of sioux center, iowa. it is lovely and simple and peaceful and the perfect place for a midwestern fall day. i grew up going there for church family nights, youth group outings, sledding with friends, and picnics as a newlywed.
ultimately when i think of oak grove though, i think of my dad. this is a man who loves the tranquil beauty and quiet of hiking a path crossed by deer or casting a fishing line into the pond. my father is humble and kind and faithful- i am a lucky daughter. and what joy to see him with my children!
"Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit and home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." Deuteronomy 11:18-19
