Sometimes you just need a little breather when it seems life hasn't gotten much easier but rather harder with every passing day and it would be great to simply get away. But where can you go at times like these... perhaps to a quiet lake adorned with trees where you can see God wherever you look His wondrous gifts enough to fill a book. The massive limbs that shade your walk offer a cool respite from warring talk a quiet place to breathe in soothing views waiting there beyond your eager shoes. Watch the herons as they smoothly glide on a cushion of air...a magic carpet ride skimming the top of the shimmering lake a special delivery via God...for your sake. |

with nothing else to fill their livelong day 'cept chowing down and paddling about avoiding, of course, the local gator's snout. Spring explodes sweet clover upon the bank for these, busy bees have but God to thank who foreknew everything they would need to create honey on which the hungry feed. Kick your blues off...plan to stay awhile for there's lots to see to entice a smile assurance there's more to life than war like a sweet escape on a placid shore. A tranquil lake is certainly one of these inviting a weary soul to its humble knees to offer up thanks there is no power here to keep a soul from knowing God is near. The sun in all its glory comes on strong coaxing grass to shape a lakeside lawn green blades yielding beneath your sole as your eyes soak up the peaceful whole. So, stroll until you find that perfect spot to toss those problems you say you've got then harken to the lark singing from a limb or discard your clothes for a refreshing swim. Not to worry, for no one can see you here for these peaceful waters are inside you, dear, brought to you by our God who loves you so and a little ripple who just wanted you to know. ~*~ S M I L E! ©Nancy L.
