Peaceful

This morning I was thinking about the wildflowers that grew near our house in Georgia when I was young. Remembering when times were more peaceful, and children could play freely and explore the neighborhood and take time to notice the flowers and birds, and clouds.

You will keep him in perfect peace

whose minds is stayed on You

because he trusts in You.

Isaiah 26:3

The peace of God,

which surpasses all understanding,

will guard your hearts and minds

through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:7

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;

He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.

Psalm 34:18

Echoes of Mercy, Whispers of Love

Perfect submission, perfect delight,

Visions of rapture now burst on my sight.

Angels descending bring from above

Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Thankful

From the rising of the sun

unto the going down of the same

the Lord's name is to be praised.

Psalm 113:3

It is good to give thanks to the Lord
And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning
And Your faithfulness by night

 I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands.

Psalm 92:1, 2, 4b

After the Storm

The sound of 'gentle stillness' 

after all the thunder and wind 

have passed 

will be the ultimate Word from God. 
Jim Eliot 1927-1956

The gentle breeze of the Holy Spirit captures our attention so we can listen for the still small voice of our loving Father. It is He who will enable us to endure as seeing Him Who is unseen. 

see Hebrews 11:27 

and 1 Kings 19:11

Yesterday, I tried to get in a short walk between the rain showers. 

I could smell the sweetness of spring after the rain.

Prayer Garden

Keep on praying.

Be strong - not in yourselves but in the Lord, in the power of His boundless resource.

Pray at all times with every kind of spiritual prayer.

Ephesians 6:10  18
