How long before Parks too will close down again? This Lil guy did not want to be seen, but few moments later he shimmied down that tree, his eyes brilliant with joy.
Why didn’t I give myself permission to talk to him? Courtesy- protocol. Sigh. I’ll never be able to walk past that rock without wondering if he’s ok.
As our State looks to more Lock down and vaccines, know what? For sure we have never peered closer at God. We as nations and homes, haven’t gazed deeper into each others eyes, haven’t admired nature, faces, leaves, skies, rocks, people;
As a race, we’ve not lingered as much at each other, socially distanced and all,
today as I read my Bible, the words came out and wrapped themselves around my head. “Give thanks..” And I had to stop beating myself over that boy I walked past at the Park. Gave myself permission to pray that he’s alright. Yes we can pray, right? My atheist friend ‘ll wag his head. Thats ok. In the end we will know for sure what we stutter at now.

Your pictures are beautiful and the trees are just so alive. I am sure God has his hands on that little child, we can’t be too hard on ourselves right now we would all go crazy. We have to pray and let go and believe me that is a very hard one for me. Have a blessed weekend my sweet friend. Hope all the family is well. Sending love to all of you. Joni

“We can’t be too hard in ourselves, we’d all go crazy… Pray and let go…” Sigh, but you’re such a gentle reminder of Him! His power and ways. Thank you for that Joni. ♥

They may close my well-loved park
and shutter every school,
but, my friend, the coming dark
shall never, ever rule
the heart that leaps within my breast
at every shining dawn,
for this time is but a test,
and blessings still flow on
from the God who made the sun,
the God who made the tree,
the God whose Heaven’s just begun,
special-made for me,
and here in hints before my eyes
to discover each, in glad surprise.
