'Blessing the Lord' has been an act of will for me, during this difficult year of rolling lockdowns and anxiety. I know from experience that 'counting my blessings' and being thankful is one of the ways I best protect my mental health - that and spending time outdoors in nature, preferably with my camera. Sometimes it is easier than others to lift my spirits and it's something I've had to work at this year, as I'm sure is true for others.
I had cause to ponder all that when I noticed again the plaque on a rock up on Shipley Glen. I don't know how long it has been there or who placed it but perhaps it leads a few people stop and think.
'I will bless the Lord at all times. God's will is goodness and loving kindness,
and good are the paths he leads us on.'
Inspiration when we all need it.
ReplyDeleteCertainly difficult at times. I'm reminded of another saying I've found useful and challenging--Love is not just an emotion; it is a policy.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful setting.
