WHY

Windswept Treks has grown out of a love for natural beauty, the Catholic Christian Faith, and the great importance of parents spending quality time with their children.

​

Our daily lives are often so full, so busy. It can be hard to take a breath and remember the main point of it all:

 

That we are made out of love, for love.

For Love Himself, the God of the Universe,

the Author of Life and Architect of Beauty.

​

As parents, we are entrusted with loving, forming, and guiding our children to become their best selves, in relationship to God and others. In other words: to become saints.

​

The shaping of saints tends to happen in community, in relationship with others -- and perhaps most powerfully in our families. Our homes are meant to be "a"domestic church". John Paul II described the family as the "school of love"...the place where we learn love, acceptance, forgiveness, and perseverance through difficulties. Let us as parents be all the more INTENTIONAL in how we lead our families, seeking to grow in love with Jesus Christ ourselves that we may model that loving acceptance with our spouse and children.​​
