Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10
Stop and stare is something I do frequently when out on a walk or just sitting in the quiet space, just me and God. Stop to look more deeply and stare to see beyond what is in front of me where a wild flower in the grass is more than a wildflower, in fact its a thing of great creation planned by God for our enjoyment and the pleasure of the bees and butterflies. I pause at the song of the birds to just take in the beauty and perfect rhythm of their song and at Christmas I found myself pausing for long moments in front of the baby Jesus in his crib in the nativity scene and the more I stared the more I saw the wonder of not a baby but God. A New Year resolution might well be to pause and stare - just take the time to pause and stare.
May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. Anne, servant of the Lord.
