This is Wahkeena Falls, which is about a three fourths mile walk from Multnomah Falls in Oregon. Wahkeena is harder to reach because of the walk, but it is more enjoyable because people can get up close.
On the day we went it was hot, and the spray from Wahkeena falls felt cooling and good. It is like that when reading the words of Jesus. Here is an example.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28
On a hot day, it sure feels good to set down heavy burdens and take a break. When we give up our burdens to Jesus, it is like a cooling power that gives us peace.
