| This morning's view of the grounds at our home in Vermont. |
There is a great deal of fog or haze in the air. It is blocking the view of the sky this morning. I wanted to walk outside to get a better view. We have had air quality warnings these past few days. I have not been feeling well lately and wondered if this has contributed to my weariness. But as I walked out in the beautiful fresh air, I felt such a sense of peace.

It is such a beautiful day with the birds chirping and the cool mountain air for refreshment. I am much too tired to attend church today, which is a disappointment. But I am so grateful for the opportunity to take a brief walk on the grounds before going indoors for a long rest.
Even though it seems like we are covered by some strange haze in the sky, I feel safe and protected. The sound of the birds and the gentleness of the wind bring comfort.
Yesterday, I was feeling frightened about my health. But I am no longer worried. At this moment, I can hear the church bells ringing, from down the country road near our house. All is well. The Lord is good.
Blessings
Mrs. White

ReplyDeleteWe are so blessed by birdsong. My dear husband installed the clothesline of my dreams, the old-fashioned pulley line. Hanging the laundry brings me joy. I can hear the birds singing and hear the soft wind. The quiet and peaceful surroundings are sure to give you a lift in spirit.May you be restored to good health.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, the haze you are experiencing is because of the wildfires burning in Canada? I do hope you feel better soon, Mrs. White. God bless!
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs. White I do hope you feel better soon. There's nothing like a walk outdoors to refresh the soul. I live in a residential neighborhood with a marina and park about a mile away. I don't have the energy today to walk so far, but I do believe the breeze from the ocean is keeping our air clean. I think I'll have a sit in our tiny garden and enjoy the birds. Blessings to you on this Lord's Day.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon. We have Canadian smoke making things a little hazy way down here to Delaware, so that might be the culprit. andrea
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you, Mrs. White. May healing come to you in Jesus name. Amen. ~d
ReplyDeletePraying for your good health, Mrs. White! And for your family!
ReplyDeleteOne more thing- my husband tells me that one of the plants that grows after a fire is mullein, an herb which is good for the respiratory system- https://www.webmd.com/diet/health-benefits-mullein-tea -- I have mullein in my herb cabinet and the tea works well for coughs and exposure to bad air.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the fear has been removed, thank the Lord. What a beautiful description of your property there...The Sahara dust has visited you there perhaps?
ReplyDeleteA hug. ~Amelia
