Pause, friend, and read before you enter here. This vine-clad wall encloses holy ground.
Herein a mellowed garden dreams away the years, Stepped in serene, sweet light and muted sound. Herein tranquility and peace abide. For God walks here at cool of evening-tide.
Pause, friend, and strip from out your heart All vanity, all bitterness, all hate:
Quench, for this hour, the fever of your fears. Then, treading softly, pass within this gate.
There, where the ancient trees wait, bushed and dim.
May you find God, and walk awhile with Him.
Pearl Council Hiatt
I'm a reader and I have a book mark I picked up years ago at Brookgreen Gardens. If you've never been there next time your in the Myrtle Beach area you should go. Although you may have to drag your husbands, it's well worth it. Have you ever been at a place where you could feel God's presence. Someplace that's breath taking beauty gave you goosebumps as though He were standing beside you? Maybe it was Niagra Falls or the Grand Canyon, or maybe standing with your feet buried in the sand stareing at the sunset on the ocean. Have you ever felt that peace. It's in that moment that He touches your heart. It makes me think about the peace and joy that will be felt when I come face to face with Jesus some day. Imagine your first embrace by our Father. So, in essence PEACE.
“Peace holds within itself trust in the Lord, the trust that He governs all things and provides all things, and that He leads towards an end that is good. ”
