“We may ignore, but we may nowhere evade, the presence of God. The world is crowded with God. God walks everywhere incognito. And the incognito is not always hard to penetrate. The real labor is to remember, to attend. In fact, to come awake. Still more, to remain awake.”
~C.S. Lewis in Letters to Malcolm Chiefly on Prayer
(As quoted here and dropped in my email box)
In the stillness,
Sandy
Welcome to the Still Saturday Community 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 on the left, 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.
lovely, Sandra!
and such a warm reminder of receiving that very CS Lewis book from a new friend
whilst in England . . .
Love that, Sharon. 🙂
Love C.S. Lewis and this quote–your image is gorgeous! Thank you so much for hosting us. Hope your Saturday is still and blessed.
Thanks so much, Elizabeth. And thanks for gracing the stillness with us.
Beautiful silent sentinels .
Silent sentinels. I love that.
Yes, it is! Have a beautiful weekend, my friend. xox
For those who have ears to hear and eyes to see…
to find peace
stillness
in the frosted chill
this too at my place!
Chilled… yet stilled.
Or maybe simply frozen in place. 😉
Beautiful thoughts. His world is full of His glory. May I remain awake.
stilled,
Rebekah
Echoing that prayer with you, Rebekah.
Beautiful images and thoughts to start out my day – thank you!
Thanks so much, Jill. Hoping you can carry a bit of stillness with you as you go about your day.
And you, sister-friend, patiently and gently keep nudging me to wakefulness. Bless you! xoxo
You do a pretty good job of that yourself, Sheila. xo
Such a beautiful C.S. Lewis quote & photo! Thanks for hosting & God bless!
C.S. knew how to put wisdom and words together, didn’t he, Laurie? 🙂
Grateful for being introduced to this unfamiliar quote from the massive wisdom of Mr. Lewis.
Six words stating the often unseen obvious! I also adore ‘frosted’ Cat Tails.
Frosted cat tails do bring a bit of beauty to an icy landscape. 🙂
Wake me, shake me if you must…
Shaking… gently…
Apparently, I haven’t been here in a while because the new site is peaceful and gorgeous. Great quote. Yes. Everywhere. God is everywhere and attending to that awareness takes great practice but brings so much peace and rest. Bless you.
Thanks, Lorretta. The site just came up on Valentine’s Day. I love it, too.
Yes, attending to that awareness takes practice…
C.S. Lewis is one of my favorite people. His words never cease to inspire, and challenge me. Thank you for sharing this, and your photos, though chilly are beautiful! Have a blessed week!
He’s one of my favs, too. Glad you’ve been warmed today. 😉
Sandy, thank you for helping me quiet my heart every weekend. You are a blessing. Hugs
Thank you, dear friend. So are you. Hugs back.
That is both a gorgeous picture and a beautiful truth.
😀 😀
Loved the CS Lewis quote. My prayer for us today is for eyes to see Him today! Blessings!
I’ll pray that with you, Joanne.
This is my very first time linking up, and I truly can’t wait to look at these other blogs and be inspired 🙂
Welcome, Jenna! So glad to pull out a chair and offer you a cup of tea and a hug.
And, as usual, I loved your photo, loved your sharing. Thanks much, dear friend.
A beautiful and yet so deep quote! I need to read this book of C.S. Lewis, I have read his Srewtape Letters … The words penetrate right into one’s heart and soul.
God walks everywhere incognito – I love that, and too the reminder to keep our eyes open. His presence is a sure thing….all the time and everywhere. Thanks for this Sandra!
