So very grateful for #335 & 336

This Friday my son Jason was in a car accident.
He's okay!
Thank you Lord!
A woman driving excessively fast swerved into his lane
causing the car ahead of Jason to drive off the road
and Jason's car to be side-swiped all the way from

the front of the car to the back.

He has a few stitches on the side of his head and arm.

# 336Family Gathered.
It was a confirming weekend.
A Confirmation of Love.

...A Still Retreat ...

Sometimes

I dream of Pemberley.

...A Jane Austen retreat waiting for me up on a hill...

"Every disposition of the ground was good; and she looked on the whole scene, the river, the trees scattered on its banks, and the winding of the valley, as far as she could trace it."

Jane Austen

 *  *  *

 Sometimes
I remember that my Heavenly Father
prepares for me

a Glorious Kingdom retreat

every time I meet Him. 

 *  *  *

And now,

. . . Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett . . .

~ a humble retreat ~

...look up and see...

Be Still and Know

Be Still
