scripture

 

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,

who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

Shall light troubles make you forget weighty mercies?

thoughts

 

I am overwhelmed. I had to take a breather from rushing to and fro on campus so I found a table between many large, tall trees. I put my bag on the ground. I sat up on the table top and laid back. In the trees around me I could see squirrels chasing each other in their branches and I saw many different types of birds gliding about between them. I took a deep breath and noticed jet trails in the sky. They were running north and south. They floated quickly and faded slowly in the piece of sky overhead. I felt the breeze on my face and the coolness of the midmorning. A bird chirped in the brush and I felt peace. I then realized that if I had lain there any longer I’d fall asleep. So I said a prayer to thank God for His creation and His care over me.

 

Take some time today to breath and meditate on God.
