\u201cThere is a deep contentment in watching the day unfold and knowing every detail bears the touch of our Creator.\u201d\u00a0Sandi<\/span><\/p>\n

We have a seasonal creek that runs through our property at the back. It is a quiet place where the world stands still even if just for a moment. I enjoy the way the creek changes with each season, offering a totally different look with the changing foliage around it. Along the bank of the creek, you will find trees with moss, wild flowers, ferns, and the signs of prints left in the soft dirt from deer drinking from the water. The rocks found in and on the banks of the creek are worn from the water flowing over and around them, creating some interest in their shapes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I often grabbed a cup of coffee in the early morning while dew is still on the ground and make our through the pasture down to the creek. It soul-soothing slow walk and releases anything that wants to hang on from the day before. My walk signifies a fresh new day full of opportunities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step outside. Take deep breaths. Inhale grace, exhale praise as you take a slow walk, aware of the beauty around you. Today, no matter where you are or what you have scheduled for your day, take moments to slow down. Soak in the beauty around you as your burdens fall into the hands of the One who loves you with an unconditional deep love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#7CDA24″ divider_weight=”3px” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
