“His wounds didn’t disappear with his resurrected body. Jesus chose to walk out into the world with scars from the past–visible.
“It’s with those hands he reaches out to gently hold you and draw you to his side, where his other scar is tender, where water and blood flowed. So you can touch it and know that you are safe.”

Leaving some whitespace here this month as I rest with Bonnie.
I’m reading and writing on a chapter a day.
In the stillness,

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 reflect on the depth of 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.
Bonnie has such a way with words, and they bring such rest. Love how your words are echoing hers.
GOD BLESS!
Joy to you, Sharon. 🙂
Abandoned. Found. Peace. Early morning Saturday in a house sleeping, a cup of Irish Breakfast tea and a heavy sweater because the night brought a chill. Surrounded. Loved. Resting…Thanks, Sandy. Beautiful…
Nothing like being embraced by the warmth of tea and a sweater on a cool still morning. 🙂
Look at her sweet, sweet face.
This was a couple years ago. One of my favorite pictures. She wasn’t crying. She’d just dripped some water on herself. 🙂
So lovely! Happy Saturday.
Happy Saturday to you, sweet friend.
Love how you so perfectly match the photos and words.
Thank you, Nina. They are good words to work with. 🙂
I keep hearing about Bonnie’s book. Definitely need to check it out.
Yes, oh yes, Lisa. You must. How wonderful to see you here.
Oh, those innocent cheeks! Such a sweet photo. And Bonnie’s words? Written just for me, according to my heart. Thank you.
Really? I thought they were written for me. 😉
Naw, they were written for me, but I’ll gladly share. 🙂
Beautiful! Thanks for hosting & God bless!
Thank you, dear Laurie. For your faithfulness and encouragement always. Love to you.
