Sometimes we need to be emptied Hollowed like an ol’ tree trunk in order to see through to the Water

Sometimes a message is left in our path

Sometimes we only need breathe to take in Beauty

And other times we only need close our eyes and listen

To know God is near

Great Pictures Deb. So many things remind us that God speaks through all of nature and ordinary things when we listen and look carefully.

Thanks, Gary. You remind me of the words from childhood, “Be sure to stop, look, and listen before crossing the street.” Who knew the depth of what that really meant?!
🙂 💛🌻
Beautiful post, dear Deb! Sorry I have been MIA! Have had my hands full with family stuff. I think of you often! Sending you my love and prayers! <3 <3
Dear Lynn, I think of you often too! I’m glad we haven’t lost each other…but then that’s silly to say, I know we never will! Thank you thank you thank you for writing! Sending love and prayers back for you and your family.
