Good morning!!

It's a gorgeous day here

and I can hear the call

of the country...

One more week and we will be travelling

to the country

where this heart

embraces the beauty of luscious green fields,

wire fences,

and backdrops of blue, blue skies.

My heart will be opened up once again

to the most beautiful places

in the world to me.

When we travel and we drive down these country roads

my heart literally leaps over the fences

and dances in fields of green and gold.

I kid you not..

only God alone knows just how much I adore the country

and every blade of grass

and every buttercup.

I'm beginning today

with deciding what to pack.

And its not even that its about what to wear;

because honestly,

 I'm a girl with a small wardrobe.

I'm happy with just jeans and a comfy top.

Its just that even the preparation

brings it that much closer!

 I can't even tell you how much I adore

the wardrobe of the fields.

My Best Friend asks me to

"Consider how the lilies of the field grow,

they don't toil or spin,

and not even Solomon in all his glory

clothed himself like one of these".

How true....He is so wise.

In His simplicity,

He is profound.

The country takes my hand

and brings me back to the place my heart calls home.

Back to the truth,

of Who He is,

and who I am in Him.

The reality and the beauty of His shepherding me

comes alive here..

He makes me lie down in green pastures,

He leads me beside quiet waters,

He restores my soul...

I not only come away to the country..

but I

come away

with my Beloved.

When I return here to the country,

I taste the wine

of

His sweet love.

He kisses me with the kisses of His mouth,

for His love is better than wine.

Here in the quiet,

it is easy to hear Him.

And even though I hear Him in the everyday,

I  cherish

 the

 quiet times,

the

 You and me,

"alone together in our hearts"

times.

And I can hear You say

Come away, My beloved..

and

I answer

I come!!

And He's always waiting,

longing...

for us..

for you

In His love & friendship,
