Thanksgiving Day at Cumberland Falls

Family needs are different this year, so we found ourselves with the day together and nothing planned.

We decided to make a 2 1/2 hour trip into eastern Kentucky to see the waterfalls at Cumberland Falls State Park.  They are known as the Niagara Falls of the south.  The falls were lovely.



We intended to hike a 5.8 mile trail which would have looped us around and ended at the falls, but the trails weren't well marked (or maybe I'm a lousy trail guide 😉), so we ended up taking 3 or 4 shorter trails.

After we were all done walking, we made a detour to see what was at the end of the picnic area parking, and there we found the marker for the trail that we intended to take!  

We enjoyed ourselves.  Sandra packed turkey sandwiches, veggies, and crackers.  We ate in the beautiful outdoors beside the Cumberland River. 


It was refreshing to spend the days outside in God's magnificent creation.  We praise Him for all the beautiful things that He has made.


"Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously. 

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth."

Psalm 96:10-13
