To all my fellow travelers …
those whose souls are road weary and those whose hearts are racing full-steam ahead …
May your path lead you to pleasant places …
May you knock on doors of opportunity and pause at intriguing places along your journey to reflect, listen, and learn …
May you savor time with God in awe and worship wherever you are along the path …
May there be places to rest your weary feet by water’s edge …
May you have someone to walk with you who cares enough to bring along dark chocolate in their back pocket 😉 …
And may you resist the urge to take the short cut, opting instead for the more scenic route so as not to miss the greater beauty …
May you find strong, solid roots to keep you grounded and sure-footed along the path God has marked out for you …
May there be bridges of hope to help you ford those muddy, uncertain places …
May a table be spread before you and your joy be full …
And as you come around the bend, may the sun shine down on you and warm you from deep within …
And may you smile as you lift your face to the sun while it dances along the water’s surface…
“The Lord bless you
and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.”

Beautiful prayer and photos! Thank you. I’ve heard it’s a great place to hike and hangout. I’ll have to go soon.
You will love it. The chapel was so amazing out in the middle of the woods. Very peaceful place. Good for my soul to be near water, you know. 🙂
thank-you so much. this ministered to me today.
So glad it did, Jen. Out of our own “stuff”, God usually brings encouragement for others, it seems. ♡
