His Peace

We camped this week in Skowhegan and this was the scene a stone's throw from our camping spot. So quiet and serene. When your eyes behold the splendour of His beauty. It will have an effect on you and quiet you within just to realize He speaks to nature and it is done! A friend loves at all times. When I think of friendship it is #1 True #2 Consistent #3 Trustworthy #4 Reliable #5 Loves without reservation. You could probably add some other adjectives. We have so many people that are truly our friends all over the country. Two came to visit at camp. Arnold and Ann with his new toy since retiring. Ann heads the Maine chapter of Newborns in Need, a National organization to help needy moms. Precious friends we have known for a long time and who love Jesus. Below is Max, our boston terrier who accompanied us on the trip. He was not happy at this point. He is never leashed. He is great to take along as he does not bark and minds very well. Hubby could not go without him even though I offered to pay for the kennel. (smile)
It was a relaxing time for us. God gives his children rest and refreshing in the midst of life. I tell young couples they need to take time to spend with each other as there will come a time when it is just the two of them. The children will be gone and they need to 'know' each other. If not, there is danger in going their own separate ways and travelling their own individual paths involved in their interests alone. Life goes fast and the seed sown in younger years will grow. Question to ask oneself. Have I taken time for my partner? Or is life slipping away and I am on such a fast slide that I cannot slow down or get off. Something to think about.

There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God.

The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High,

God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;..Psalm 46:4-5a
