Thankful Thursday ~ Solitary Place

There are places in life that are sources of respite & rejuvenation. 

Joy & laughter come with the remembrance of them. 

Calm, peace & renewal are found there. 

"Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, 'Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.' So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place." Mark 6:31-32

In Mark 6:31 Jesus took the disciples to a solitary place for rest and renewal. 

In the busyness of life we must make time to get away to remember & focus on those important to us.
For me a cabin in the mountains is that place. Our family takes a step back ~ we enjoy life and one another. 

How do you make time for those you love. Do you have a place of quiet where you can reconnect with your family? I would love for you to share with us about your solitary place.

  • fresh honeycrisp apples

  • baskets of apples picked with the family
  • fresh hot donuts
  • crisp, cold apple cider
  • sipping coffee on the deck as the day breaks over the mountains

  • squeals of laughter from the "dizzy" swing

  • red mountain barns
  • weight lifting from shoulders as we wind up the mountain
  • shade from the bamboo maze
  • refreshing sleep

In His Calm,
