Serenity

As I sit awaiting for my youngest grandbaby to wake up from her morning nap, instead of buying myself straightening up or folding clothes, I made a conscious choice to sit in the rocker, where I read, rock or feed my grandbaby. As I sat down, an instanteous overwhelming feeling of Serenity enveloped the back of my neck, across my shoulders, then down my spine, and radiated ever so slowly out and around either side of my body, just like a cozy, oh so super soft, over-sized sweater. I was so grateful for the release of tension for normally my shoulders are, more times than not, drawn to my ears, were extremely relaxed and down where they should be.

As I opened my eyes, I was drawn to gaze out the window into the backyard, the ripples in the pool captured my attention.

I am so drawn to movement be it ripples in water sources or leaves, branches, windmills or flags blowing in the wind. The movement calms me to my core. Literally, the movement will stop my in my tracks, and a sense of pure calmness flows through my entire being. At these pauses in time, I can feel my chest expand and deflate as I concentrate breathing ever so deep, feeling the air flow into my lungs, as well as wrap around my body. These refreshing moments in time are such blessings in my life.

What an Awesome God to remind me to stop and be present, so I allow myself this time to see, feel and observe the Serenity He has interwoven throughout all His Creation.

Yet again, I am in awe of the gift of the Serenity surrounding me in this moment in time.

May all that is Good in this world and the next continue to join forces and conqueror evil for good, here on earth as it is in Heaven.

“All for the Greater Glory of You my God, all for the greater Glory of You.”
