ummm - it sounds like I am making an excuse for using another blurry image ...
but I'm not ...
really...
The image above was taken this morning. It was a perfect snowy morning - if only the flakes were a bit bigger - the grayness and blurriness is a result of the reduced visibility because of the snow. I loved how the red barn - stood out against the gray and white.
As I looked at the photo - the word that came to me was peace, calm, serenity.
Such a scary world we live in. One cannot even take a 9 year old girl to see a member of our government in hopes of inspiring her with her new role on the 3rd grade student council.
I pray that God would bless the families of all those involved in the tragedy in Arizona. May God heal the hearts, bodies and minds of those so maliciously wounded and their families. God please comfort the families of those who are no longer with us.
I know true peace will only come when Christ returns ~ but until then I pray God would enable each one of us to have our eyes, ears, and hearts opened to those around us in all situations that we might encourage them with the peace that is available to us right now - in Christ Jesus.
