Wisdom to Live By: Part 1 – Peace
This is simply a reminder to myself; a desire to keep this in the forefront of my mind.
I love this photo – taken in my garden, altered in such a way that both the colours and the words and the simplicity of both resonate in some place deep within me, resulting in joy.
In need of rest
So utterly tired
Worn out, worn down
Worried and fatigued.
Longing for relaxation, to lie beside still waters
Yearning to take off this bag that I carry which holds the stuff of life
And put it down for a time
To breathe
To rest a while
Hoping rest will replace weariness,
calm replace concern,
peace replace turbulence;
That sleep will indeed knit the unraveled sleeve of all my care(s)
And I might know true rest.
My prayer that I might wake, my soul repaired
Renewed desire to reach out and touch the fabric of the day –
a gentle touch that greets the day
with gratitude and grace
rejuvenation of joy and strength
in peace, a soul refreshed
Thought for today: 22 August 2017
This is your invitation to stop what you are doing and take a moment to be. To be still. To quiet your thoughts. To breathe out. To listen.
If this is the only moment in your day when you are able to stop and take stock, then make the most of it. Just for a moment. Be still. Listen…
Then take a moment to be grateful for the good things in your life…
I wish you a peaceful day filled with gratitude 🙂
