One fall day a few months ago, while sitting outside, I felt a cool faint breeze brush across my face. It was portending the winter to come. It was gentle and comforting. In that brief moment, I felt something else. I suspect it was God’s presence. I was stunned into stillness to ponder my rest in Him….to slow down my hurried life and just be with Him.
I pray you and I both have more and more of those moments.
Fall-like Breeze
As I stood among the trees
Calmly did the fall-like breeze
Brush across my skin and face
And lead me to another place
Where Another took control
And for a time I took a stroll
From a hurried, lonesome life
Where strict demands bring much strife
For a time I wandered slow
Then seemed at once to truly know
The presence of the Lord near me
A calm kind voice then shared a plea“
Know I’m here to walk beside
When swirls of life do close reside
In the calm sweet fall-like days
Slow your pace and come My way
To another world I’ve made
There’s rest for you in My deep shade
I am your Savior and your friend
I want to truly ever mend
The bumps and bruises of your soul
And make your heart more truly whole.”
