Be still and know that I am Lord!

Sometimes I forget to "stop and smell the roses". I love days like this where I can just sit and enjoy . . . I can't even think what it is that I am enjoying or even how to put it into words.


The beauty that can be found in the silence of the morning. (Until Levi hears something outside and for a moment breaks the silence) But I love just sitting in silence especially since the world is loud. My mind is so much clearer in the silence. The noise of the world just causes confusion and frustration. The silence brings peace and clarity. I love it!
The sunlight as it casts shadows across my yard and porch. In fact I would be sitting on that porch now if I was willing to get out of PJ's and it wasn't so hot. :) The thought that God created sunlight, which serves so many purposes but for me today it illuminates his creation. It's like a spot light that he uses to show off. And man he knows how to show off.
I just love nature. 2 squirrels chasing each other around the yard, actually Levi is going crazy he wants to place chase as well. But my favorite part are the red birds in the front yard. They are such a brilliant shade of red and are just beautiful! 


I wish I could make time every morning to just sit and do nothing. The silence has been great and so calming. I wonder if this is why Psalms 46:10 says "Be still and know that I am Lord" Psalms 37:7 "Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him . . ." Exodus 14:14 "The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.” 


Something to think about . . . 


Have a blessed day! :)
