Finding rest

Thus says the Lord , “Stand by the roads and look; ask for the ancient paths, Where the good way is; then walk in it, And you will find rest for your souls.

For Rich

This morning at the start of our foggy walk, we heard the honking of geese. I stopped to try to visualize their coming. It was a few minutes before I could actually see their approach.

Stay within the protection I afford to you.   The way of the enemy is devious and subtle, but leads to death. Within me is life and vitality. Within me is safety. My love cast out fear.
