Earth’s crammed with heaven, and every common bush afire with God. But only he who sees takes off his shoes.
I believe your day today will be full of “burning bush moments.” These are moments where God wants to show Himself to you or maybe speak into your life.
It’s real easy in our fast paced, frenzied world to miss these moments. So today remember that “earth is crammed with heaven.” God is here. He is with you.
Just slow down, open your eyes, and whatever you do, don’t forget to take off your shoes.
I’ll be in Haiti (gulp) the next two Saturdays, but I’ll try to have link-ups scheduled to post since I may have a very spotty internet connection.
In case I can’t pop in, I will be praying for all of you to find a bit of stillness during this sometimes hectic season.
Much love to all of you.
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.

Hmm. Maybe I should reflect on why I dislike shoes so much. I’m the one who’s kicking them off as soon as she comes inside.
Love this, Sandy. Love you.
