As I was thinking of many beautiful places
I've been able to enjoy in Indiana
I remembered this song that I used to sing at church
as part of a quartet in college.
as part of a quartet in college.
There is a quiet place
Far from the rapid pace
Where God can soothe my troubled mind.
Sheltered by tree and flower
There in my quiet hour
With Him my cares are left behind.
Whether a garden small
Or on a mountain tall,
New strength and courage there I find.
Then from this quiet place
I go prepared to face a new day
With love for all mankind.
Ralph Carmichael, 1967.
Here is beautiful rendition on Youtube

We don't know this hymn, but it sure is pretty. Gorgeous header and pictures!! Let's see...Crepe Myrtle, Pansies, and what a sweet little waterfall. That is a Clematis in your header? I have never seen one that color, so pretty!
Good Morn. The lyrics (and video) are beautiful. I always feel close to God as I enjoy the blooms in the yard or look out at the sunset behind the mountains. Wishing you a nice day. xoxo

I truly think we need to hear nature's song more, but sadly many don't experience this often. I'm so glad you step into nature, Karen, and appreciate and enjoy. What lovely pictures these are.
*where God can soothe my troubled mind.....I love that sentence. : )
