Still Saturday: Coming Apart
Coming apart for a couple of days so we don’t come apart.
Seeking a bit of peace so we don’t fall to pieces.
Because sometimes we have to hide to find.
Spending a handful of days to reap a heartful of Him.
Praying you find a few quiet moments today to hear His heart whispers,
Photos taken last night at a delightful little rest area
along U.S. 2 in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on the shore of Lake Superior.
Welcome to Still Saturday where we pause after a busy week, move in quiet pilgrimage, maybe linger a while in some still place, and soak in the beauty of images and words. We’d love for you to join us. Get the details above, grab your favorite button, and link up below. We all love to hear if something especially speaks to your heart, but please don’t feel pressured to comment. Simply take some time to gaze long and drink deep.

Thank you, Susan. I hope you sense His embrace this weekend, too. Sending a cyber hug.
Oh my… such beautiful words. Can I quote you and link back to you? It would be in about a week or so. I take a blog break “about” every 7th week and these words speak the message of why so beautifully. My break is Sept 16-23.
So glad to join with you today… Blessings <3

Absolutely! I’m always glad to link still with you.
You’ve picked a perfectly lovely spot to get away Sandy. Praying the peace of His presence, the refreshing of His Spirit, and plain ole joy! Have a wonderful time sweet friend.

Just finished supper and got back to our little room now at 11 p.m. Checking in and totally exhausted tonight. I don’t know how many miles we hiked nor can I count the sights I saw. And the silence in the woods was almost deafening. Beautiful.
YOU DID IT! You got away, you’re on retreat, you’re re-filling. Hallelujah. And the pictures are grand. :>)

Sandy, hope you feel His presence with you and find a place of peace to restore your soul longing. Thinking about you. Your photos are lovely (its always the best part of a road trip for me, the photos).

Me, too. It makes it all last longer.
Oh yes, we all need those quiet moments. I love what you said about coming apart for a couple of days to keep from coming apart.
The photos are beautiful. Is that a pileated woodpecker? Amazing photo – they are often hard to capture on camera.
Blessings,
Joan

May your weekend retreat be filled with God’s holy presence, His amazing love and grace, and the wonder of all He has, is, and will do for you. Love, Patricia

We all need breaks from time to time, and I do hope your retreat is restorative and healing, Sandy.
Loved your photos, too, especially of the pileated woodpecker. Goodness, they’re so elusive, I’m amazed that you were able to get this!
Blessings!

Oh Sandy. What beautiful words. Enjoy your break my friend. Enjoy the quiet and rest! Beautiful.

Oh friend, hoping that your soul is restored, wholly, fully, and that you swim in a sea of peace. Your photography and your heart are a song of the lovely here. You’re in a beautiful part of this world.

I think you are so right — we have to be proactive with filling ourselves with Him instead of reactive, emoting with a worldly heart.

Reap what you can from Him so we can glean from the harvest when you return! Blessings!

Sandy, the sweet salve of retreat and refreshing! Yes, we all need it from time to time, and I hope and pray that your time in quiet, hidden away from the hustle and bustle is peaceful. Your photos are awesome, especially the woodpecker! Loving just resting in the sound of your words and the visions you’ve placed before me.
