Spending time in Goldstream. Buds were just barely visible on this and a few other trees. Birth and movement is beginning following the short season of rest. During the period of dormancy, so much was happening. Not visibly. Yet, the stillness and silence was setting the stage for the Spring Show to come.
How much change and renewal would we experience if there was more rest in our lives? Escape and fun provide some renewal. Yet, true rest comes from those quiet, intimate and even lonely times in the presence of God.
"I'm alone here. What I am doing by myself without plans for the moment? Is anything happening as I am sitting, praying and being quiet with God?"
Like the tree, strength is being found in the those resting, quiet times of prayer. Maybe there will be the same kind of Spring Show in us?
