Love worketh no ill to his neighbor:therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. And that, knowing the time, that now is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer rhan we believed. -Romans 13:10-11
Yesterday I sat on the porch. First I sat on the back porch and then I sat on the front porch. It was quieter in the back. I looked up at the clouds. I looked around at the greenery. I watched the birds fly. I read a few pages from a book. Although the day was cool the sun was bright and it was pleasantly warm.
The front porch offers a wider few. I can see my neighbors yards and porches. Lots of beautiful hanging baskets. Laughter and conversation could be heard from across the street. The sun shining brightly but the air was cool. Fifteen minutes and my front porch sitting was over for the day.
These days I try more earnestly to follow through on the things I used to just think about doing. Many days I'd think about going outside for a sit and didn't Current events have brought many things into focus. Knowing the time, how quickly it passes helps me not take things for granted.
I thank God for one more sunny day. Another chance to breathe, to see, to touch, to hear. I praise God for the chance to be still and to know that He is God. Knowing the time.
God bless!
In Christ,
Sis. Stephanie
Be still and know that I am God... In all you see from the porch, I Am there!
