Counting Down to Easter 2014: 1 Word (Still Saturday)

April 18, 2014 By Sandra Heska King

It is Done2

be

Word Count: 1

be


Day 6 – Day 1

Be

In silence we’re not in control.

Something larger holds us captive,

and enough is enough

in the interim

between time.

Be.

It is Done

Today’s Reading: Revelation 17 – Revelation 22

Don’t forget: On May 1 we start our study of Making Manifest by Dave Harrity. Learn more here.

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 sparse words. We’d love for you to join us. Grab the 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.

    Dear Sandra,

    “BE”… What a perfect word to celebrate the great “I AM”! It’s the essence of His presence and of His continual call to us to “be” in Him.

    Because He is, we are. Hallelujah!

    Blessings to you and your family this Easter,
    HBHW

    You have offered up so much praise and blessing this season. Thankyou for inviting us into the “white space” purchased for us at the cross. He is risen!

    “In silence we’re not in control.” WOW! Maybe that’s why I get so nervous sometimes when I’m by myself. Maybe I am more unsettled by a lack of control than I thought. Alternatively, when I’m not quiet within myself, I have no hope of letting the Lord have His way. Be still and know that I am God. No control is a good place to be in many ways.

    Have a blessed Easter!!

Spent a couple hours this morning with friends fro Spent a couple hours this morning with friends from @spanishriverchurch picking up beach trash. Little bits of colored and clear plastic, big bits of plastic, bottle caps, broken glass, strings, ropes, straws, socks, fast food containers, paper, cigarette holders and filters—and a couple unmentionables. Took extra care around the turtle nests. Last count was about 70 pounds, but there were also some bigger things like an abandoned chair and a plastic tent. And a big piece of burlap or something with a fishing lure and giant hook attached. D found a Macy’s gift card that he almost tossed in his bucket. But we brought it home to check the balance—$24.60! We should be able to turn that into something useful for someone. 😊

When I stepped out to release it (no bail), I was surprised by this brief bit of backyard beauty.
For most of us, knowledge of our world comes large For most of us, knowledge of our world comes largely through sight, yet we look about with such unseeing eyes that we are partially blind. One way to open your eyes to unnoticed beauty is to ask yourself, "What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?" ~ Rachel Carson in The Sense of Wonder

A tale of two iguanas... I did not see the iguana A tale of two iguanas... I did not see the iguana in the background until I downloaded the photos. That, I believe, is the one that got caught in one of the openings in the neighbor's chain link fence. We tried in several (safe) ways to dislodge it without luck and could think of no other option but to leave it. Somehow it apparently dislodged itself. We also believe this is the pair that was getting into another neighbor's garden. We haven't seen either one since the last cold snap, so we are wondering if they survived. 
🌱
Thinking some may have tumbled from their perches last night. Pretty sure it will be raining iguanas tonight since we are under a frost advisory. It's cold. And windy.
