Rest, resiliency, vacation, solitude, quiet … chocolate for my soul.

Being the chocoholic that I am, time at our Sanctuary is a gift to us each August. Bill snapped the above picture on a cool morning last August. It’s how I start my time with God, sitting, staring (usually at God’s creation … that morning the wood stove had me mesmerized), solitude, silence, and coffee (almost as good as chocolate).

“Most of the things we need in order to be most fully alive
never come from busyness. They grow out of rest.”
Mark Buchanan

During August, I’m practicing being fully alive, dwelling, resting, abiding, and listening for the voice of God. Echoes of Grace is enjoying its yearly vacation and will return on Thursday, September 7, 2017.

Looking forward to seeing you then and sharing with you a special surprise. Mark your calendar for September 7.

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High”
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the LORD,
“My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
Psalm 91:1, 2
