Peaceful Nights

Sometimes you just need to press pause on life.

Take a stroll in the night air. Sit on the porch and take in all the sounds. Marvel at the little flashes of green as the fireflies put on a ballet in the air about you.

Smell the honeysuckle growing wild just beyond the fence.

Listen as the crickets chirp in harmony with all the other creatures of the night assigned to keep watch on the world as most of us wind down and enter the land of sleepy slumber.

I understand for some, the dark brings fear and evil. But, for me, at this time in my life, the night brings me peace.

Sweet sounding peace. Heavenly protection.

I haven’t always felt safe and protected, but oh what a sweet feeling now that I do. I no longer fear the dark or the unknown like I did for so long, because I now have an eternal night light living inside of me and a God that has promised—and proven Himself time and time again—to always protect and cherish me.

If you know God, I hope you will take some time tonight to feel His great love for you. And, if you don’t know Him, I hope you will take some time to seek Him. I promise you that you will never, ever regret it.

May you all have a blessed week and a happy summer of peace-filled days and nights. Much love and many blessings to you all.

Amen and Ehmen

Although I stepped outside to complete a chore, I was instantly captivated by the sweet sounds of a world preparing to slumber. On this beautiful clear night, a gazillion stars gather around the quarter moon like groupies at a rock concert. Nature’s own night lights illuminate the sky and world below with just enough light to enjoy this summer night. I couldn’t help but smile when I noticed several of the stars perched atop the palm tree as if God himself saw fit to decorate its branches. God thought of absolutely everything and tonight as the beauty of His creation enveloped me and stopped me in my tracks, I praise Him and His Holy Name. Thank you, God, for absolutely everything. Amen and Ehmen.

Psalm 8: 3-5

3When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained; 4What is man that You take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him? 5Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You crown him with glory and majesty!
