Winding your way through the trees (a smidge off the beaten path) you will venture upon HIYH (How Is Your Heart) Haven (a place of safety or refuge) a little piece of serenity tucked away in East Texas. Come capture the vibrant colors of the morning skies that can take your breath away along with the array of amazing wildflowers that seem to flood down the hillside. Take a walk up around the pond or enjoy the peace and quiet next to your rig just keep your eyes and ears open as you may see a family of deer strolling by (dawn/dusk) and hear the songs of different types of birds singing. From time to time we have seen, fox, coyotes, hogs, and even an otter stroll across the property. We are planning to set up gourds for Purple Marlins (late January early February through September) … this is still debatable as the Mrs. enjoys her dragonflies! 😉 We have a small library on the property and a Worship Center where you are welcome to join us for Wednesday evening or Saturday morning services.
