ORIGINAL ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER©

A very loud thunderclap, proceeded by many more was my wake-up call during last night. It seemed almost like a chorus of tympany drums pounding one after the other. My nights are almost always filled with uninterrupted sleep, but this storm kicked me in the eardrums and made me sit straight up at attention. There are daily storms that interrupt our daily walk with God. We count on Him to lead us through them. He leads us to a peace reserved just for us. That peace comes from Christ alone.

In solitude we sometimes find ourselves – we need some time alone,

A quiet place where life stands still – an instant safety zone,

Where waters blue surround us, where peace is everywhere,

Where you can hear the voice of God, in quiet, thoughtful prayer,

He may not give us answers that we would like to hear,

But in the sweet serenity, He holds us ever near,

The beauty of those moments, renew – refresh – restore,

“In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.”  Psalm 4:8
