Project 52 / Week 10 / Be Still

This week's Project 52 photo assignment is Be Still.   [I am #48.]   When times are stressful and full of busy-ness, this verse is so comforting to me.  

Psalm 46:10 

“Be still [cease striving] and know that I am God; 

I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” 

This photo was taken on a sunny morning walk in our neighborhood. When I slow down to capture the moment with my camera, or even better, just sit down to enjoy it, I often find there is more to "the moment" than I realized.  So often we miss the "little" things--clear bright blue skies, the whitest of white fluffy clouds gracefully floating by and the differences in color of new spring growth in the trees.  Squirrels are running all around and the birds are singing.  Be still...

This one  was taken last Saturday afternoon driving around with my husband.  I love the way the trees overhang from both sides of the road and meet in the middle.  Just the look of this scene makes me want to pull over with a hot drink and just listen to the birds singing.  We were driving very slowly but I wish we  had just stopped and sat under the trees.   Be still...

This one is my favorite which was taken a few weeks ago while I was on a women's retreat.  I had a few of the P52 themes in mind and was snapping away to capture a few photos for upcoming weeks.

Mark 6:31 

And He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a lonely place and rest a while.” 

Be still...
