QUIET TIME

Oh, goodie, I get to sit out on the deck again! It's just what this 'ole tired girl needed too. The Katydids are clackin' away and the leaves in the trees are swaying. It's low tide and the mud flats are showing, but it's still beautiful to me. Oh, how I love this time of day.....This is when God speaks to my soul, and says "Be still and know that I am God", and yes, how I love to be still and be here with Him! It has been a hectic week, but Edie reminded me today on the phone, to keep my focus on Jesus and I would be fine! He will give me strength for every moment that I need it, and not a minute before. Isn't it nice to have friends like that? "There is a friend that is closer than a brother".....Wise counsel!
There's a boat now, that is going down the river, so life's still going on.
The American flag's still waving from the dock, so our country still here.
The sounds and sights of nature are still moving, so all is right with God's creation. The oil spill has been temporarily contained, and I'm doing all I can for the one I love.
The best thought, though, is that God is in control through all of this; in everything, yesterday; today; tomorrow and will be forever.....and God didn't have to count on me for any of it. He did it all Himself!
