This is a field Georgia and I walk past on our walks. I paused in it the other day because there is a peace I get from this open space. As I stood there with Georgia, breathing in the fresh air, for a moment letting go of all that is happening in the world and the unknowns ahead of us, my favorite psalm which always soothes my soul, came to mind.

I am sharing this with you today in case these words may soothe your soul too.

I invite you to join me to...

pause. breathe. pray.

May these words, and the truth in them, be a breath of fresh air for our hearts and minds today...

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters,
He refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever. - Psalm 23

With gratitude, love and hope,
Shawn
