In September, we had the opportunity to visit the Creation Museum near Cincinnati, OH with the Bergen extended family. This was done in honor of Grandpa Bergen, who had always been a big supporter of this ministry. Him and Grandma had visited the museum many times, but most of the rest of us had never had the opportunity to do so. The christmas just before he passed away, he mentioned that he really wanted to take us all there as a family (children & grandchildren). Sadly, that never came about as he unexpectedly went to be with the Lord two short months later.
This trip would not have been possible without Uncle Stan's (Dad's oldest brother's) efforts. The Lord laid it on his heart to make this trip possible, and we are so grateful to his family for all of their work to make it happen!
It was a very precious time together as we reflected on the legacy that our father/grandfather left us. We were overwhelmed with the realization of the rich blessings that God has poured on us because of Grandpa's faithfulness to Him and commitment to point the next generation to Him! Prov. 20:7 - "The just man walks in his integrity: his children are blessed after him."
We will share a little more detailed post about our trip later. In the mean time here is a slideshow that Bethany put together of some random pics from our trip. She got some beautiful and creative shots in the museum's amazing outdoor garden which are included in the slideshow, so enjoy! :-)
