The bay at night

That is where I feel closest to God
That is, when everyone else is away.
I can pray
Be quiet
and listen
to what God
and nature
are saying.

I can get away from the noise
From my family and TV
And listen to the gentle lapping of the water,
The shuffle of my feet on the sand
And the feel of my deep breathing.
It is like my own private church and spa.
Dominus Vobiscum
God be with you.

Praise the Lord. You are honoring God with your poem. You can really sense His awesome presence in nature. It is an intimation of God's incomparable beauty and grace. Listen more to the intimate whispers in your heart. They will lead you to God. "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord." (Jeremiah 29: 13-14) Smile! GOD LOVES YOU NO MATTER WHAT! God bless you more and more each day.

Yours in Christ,
