picturesque: of glimpses and words: Aringay, La Union: The Road to Jireh

Jireh as I was told means God provides everything. This was what I learned while talking to the desk clerk at the information booth that day. And true enough, God provides everything as the Christian owners knew ever since they built the resort. But let me remind you that the road to Jireh is not at all that smooth and sailing. You have to go inside farm lands and make twists and turns through trees, mud and grasses. Often times, you go through herds of goats, carabaos, hens and other farm animals. But you can also go through people who stand by at their lots and herds and would be more than willing to tell you where Jireh is while greeting you with welcoming smiles. This is the road to Jireh - the road where God provides everything. Sometimes it’s hidden but at the end of the road is a paradise. Thus, as the Jireh caption says, “Hidden Paradise”. Paradise is beauty that awes and feels good to the senses – a relaxing mode where you can swim and lounge at their “kubo”. Eating is a feast just give them time for the delivery of food for as I say, the road to Jireh is one full of a bumpy ride. For those seeking Jireh, here are photos that make up for relaxation and comfort in Aringay, La Union.
