Even now while I'll sitting for 30 minutes trapped in the car pick up line at my children's school, I seek to FIND peace. To pursue peace. I can hear at least 4 different types of bird calls, I feel a light breeze on my face and the sun radiant and hot tingling the skin on my shoulder. Oh to SIT in His presence and bask in the beauty of His holiness. What a delight to commune with Him.freeindeedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397393973988105420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-16279972169015572772015-06-09T18:10:43.179-07:002015-06-09T18:10:43.179-07:00Thanks for stopping by Barbara!

I could feel my heart slow with each syllable. Maybe you should record a relaxation script ;). Life is busy here, but now that we have our boy graduated, I hope it slows down. Of course, there is much coming up the pike, moving him to college and all that, but I want to enjoy these next few weeks of slow--as you say, practice being deliberate with my time. Thanks for that reminder, Karrilee. Blessed by my visit here this morning.

I've often thought that peace is something that would come to me and just sorta wash over me without any effort on my part. But, in this crazy world, we often have to be intentional about seeking peace - and diligent in fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author of that Peace!<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-46487417217282599622015-06-08T12:33:56.228-07:002015-06-08T12:33:56.228-07:00That sounds divine, my friend, and I am so thrille...That sounds divine, my friend, and I am so thrilled that you get to go and soak it all in!~Karrilee~ from Abiding Love, Abounding Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698176066735604032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-26105592295879015482015-06-08T12:25:19.406-07:002015-06-08T12:25:19.406-07:00Love this so much friend!

Your words are so poetic....and I love how they point to God's handiwork. Children awaking to summertime...oh yes! In just two short weeks, I will be heading to one of my favorite continuing education events; the Lutheran Academy of the Rockies which is held outside of Estes Park, CO. This will be my fifth summer attending this great event. I love it oh so much because it causes me to slow down, breathe, and just take it all in. You have to drive five miles or all the way into Estes if you want cell service. I often carry it with me for pictures and as my watch, but no access to Facebook, my work or personnel email, etc....so so glorious! I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
