A ray of sunshine, a balmy breeze are gifts from God above.
And He also gives us faithful friends. To warm our hearts with love.
Have you been busy and tired... or hurt and disappointed?
Come with me.... see how happy the water dances to the tune of the breeze.
Lets relax together, and sit ourselves down on these little rocks.
I'll read to you one of my favourite promises from God....
from Jeremiah 29:11,
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Let there be a fresh breeze of new hope, new idealism, new integrity, new outlook.
God Bless India. Its Independence Day today!!
A verse to always remember.

ReplyDeleteI know the feeling that you are describing here; I have a beautiful forest in my backyard, and everytime I walk through it, I feel so much closer to God (not that He's ever far away to begin with!). It's times like these that make me so thankful to God for His beautiful creation.
Have a blessed week!

ReplyDeleteHi, Ruth! I rec'd a t-shirt with that verse from Jeremiah for graduation from nursing school. I love the poem above the picture and your talk of cool breezes. It is 93 degrees at 11:30 at night here, and the only cool breeze I feel is from my air conditioner :). thank you for the reminder to sit and rest a while to renew our spirits. Thanks for stopping by my blog and offering your suggestions, too. Peace to India on her independence day! -Eastlyn
