God's Faithfulness

Restoring Our Souls

He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.

Psalm 23:2-3a

My husband and I have been led beside still waters lately. Those detours weren’t on our schedule.

We’ve also seen a lot of green even if it wasn’t always pastures.

Stony Man Trail, Shenandoah Mountains. I had forgotten how restful it was.
Although we were disappointed by a cancelled ranger talk due to expected storms, it allowed my husband and I to have the Stony Man trail to ourselves.

While writing this blog, I took a break and read an article with this quote.

No trip anywhere has ever measured up to the dreams preceding it.

Phillip Gulley Saturday Evening Post

This summer and fall, our ordinary, and especially, our obligation and duty-motivated trips have gone beyond our hopes, let alone any dreams. The unexpected green pastures we were made to lie down in and the still waters that we have been led to have restored our weary souls. God’s promises are true.
