Reflections

I gave myself a birthday present–a three-day silent retreat. I came home last night refreshed and renewed. I was surprised at how deeply satisfying it was. I read Brother Lawrence's Practicing the Presence of God while there and spent time in the Psalms and in the book of James and in my journal. There is nothing like a quiet space in a lovely setting with trees, flowers, rock gardens, grottos and trails to bring me down to where I want and ought to be! Simple and free...

I'm going to make this a semi-annual affair. I'm already looking forward to the next one in November. The Springs sponsored by NEWIM (Network of Evangelical Women in Ministry).

I'm filled up and very grateful.
