A PEACEFUL PAUSE FOR THE DAY

I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.
John Burroughs

My time hiking on Meeks Mountain last week refreshed my soul, and today I offer you a bit of that beauty. I hope this serves as a peaceful pause for your day. May you walk in peace and share your peace with others this week!

I lift up my eyes to the hills—
    from where will my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth.

Psalm 121:1-2

Leave the road, take the trails.
Pythagoras

When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad.
For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.

John Lennon

O come, let us worship and bow down;
    let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!

Psalm 95:6

We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.
Albert Einstein

The seasons change and you change, but the Lord abides evermore the same,
and the streams of His love are as deep, as broad and as full as ever.
Charles Spurgeon

  1. Dear Karen,

    I can imagine you walking with a sure stride in this beautiful place! I haven’t commented in awhile because I wasn’t sure how to express my thoughts. Your words and pictures have refreshed my soul more times than you will ever know. Bless you.

    • Thank you for your words this morning, Sandy. These are days when I too, find some difficulty expressing my thoughts… the world can feel so heavy. You uplift me today–and refresh my weary soul, too. Thank you again.

Thanks for taking us along with photos:) And, yes, I am praying for peace this week. And in the next few weeks to come. In my heart. In my family. And in our country. Lord, please help us!
