Quiet....

"In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul." Psalm 94:19The house is very quiet and still this morning. No stirring of the covers...no voices whispering, "Momma".....no creaking hardwood as little feet pitter-patter toward my bedroom. Just quiet. All morning to myself....A very rare day. What to do with this time? So many things around this house needs my attention...

The Word draws me to read. Psalms speaks softly to my soul and renews my mind. Priority begins to shape and form my day. No interruptions. Just quiet. Just Word.

Psalm 103

Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

hmmmm......I really like this......
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities....those attitudes I displayed lately,

Who healeth all thy diseases......that fever that wracked my babies days ago,

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction.....how many times would I have headed the wrong way had it not been His guiding hand that redirected my steps?

Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies......His forgiveness is so tender and sweet! I lean so heavily on that mercy.

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's......His Word drips with delight! It renews my mind, soul and body.

Sitting quietly with afghans thrown around me, just thinking about Jesus. Life is fulfilling. Peace overwhelms me as "the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight me soul."

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for Your visit of peace to me this morning.
